Pep Guardiola announced as Bayern Munich manager; to start in summer

Pep Guardiola will be Bayern Munich’s new manager -- it’s confirmed. And like ripples in a pool, the shockwaves of the news will have resonated much further than Bavaria. Now that the butterfly has flapped its wings, here are a selection of parties across Europe that will be feeling earthquakes.

With Guardiola gone and a huge number of other top-tier managers alienated or put off by Roman Abramovich, Chelsea is quickly running out of options for who is going to lead its new look side. It may now be stuck with Rafael Benitez -- short of a return for Mourinho, which is almost unthinkable, it’s very difficult to see what other options it have available.
