The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international is not too sure about the phenomenal trainer, and has stressed that both sides will need to make effort in order to be successful

Therefore, the successful coach could struggle at Bayern due to his different footballing culture.
The talented manager is rumoured to be in line to take over from Jupp Heynckes at the end of the current season, but Kahn has doubts about the unemployed manager. He feels that Pep will not adjust at the German club as he is strongly
instilled with Barcelona’s footballing philosophy.
Guardiola was a Barca player for more than a decade before his managerial career. He also coached the La Liga outfit’s academy and reserve side along with the first-team. Moreover, the Spanish cup winners have their own unique
identity that is very different to that at the Allianz Arena outfit.
"Pep Guardiola is heavily influenced by Barcelona's footballing culture. He didn't just coach their first team and reserves, but also played there for 11 years during his active career. Not many clubs have such a strong own identity as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604," he was quoted
as saying in an interview.
As a result, the former Barcelona boss will struggle to cope with life at Der FCB. The retired shot-stopper said that Jurgen Klinsmann faced the same problem, and the stuff he tried did not work at the club.
"It could be difficult for him to adapt to life at another club such as Bayern with his strong ties to Barcelona's philosophy. I'm not only talking about the language barrier. Just remember what happened with Jurgen Klinsmann. The changes that he had planned
didn't go down well with the club,” he added.
Kahn believes that if Die Roten pursue Pep, then both parties will have to give in. He further added that it would be ideal if Guardiola works alongside Heynckes for the next season at the Bayern dugout.
