Munich manager Pep Guardiola has been criticised by club favourite
Lothar Matthaus amid reports he could be heading to Manchester City.
Since
wrapping up the Bundesliga title, Bayern have lost their Champions
League semi-final first leg 3-0 to Barcelona, gone out of the DFB-Pokal
on penalties to Borussia Dortmund and lost league games to Bayer
Leverkusen and Augsburg.

And Matthaus told Sky Deutschland: 'Guardiola has already said that their season is over and he's been rotating his team so much that he's unsettling the team.
'His team no longer has the stability they had for over eight months, enchanting football fans up and down Germany.
'It seems the players are losing a bit of belief in the coach, and he hadn't expected that.'

BeIN Sports on
Saturday claimed Guardiola has already reached an agreement with
Manchester City, although the Premier League last night moved to dismiss
the report.
But given Bayern's recent results and behind-the-scenes problems, he could be allowed to leave the Bavarian club.

extension are not due to take place until after the season has ended.

A
recent fall-out with the club's long-standing doctor Hans-Wilhelm
Muller-Wohlfahrt, who stepped down from his position as a consequence,
has seen Guardiola lose his hitherto untouchable status among club
bosses.
Winning
only the Bundesliga and missing out on the DFB-Pokal and Champions
League, should Bayern fail to make history and recover from a three-goal
deficit at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, would be deemed as an
unsuccessful season by Bayern's standards.
Former
Barcelona coach Guardiola won a league and cup double in his first
season with Bayern, adding the European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
