Pep Guardiola will coach Bayern Munich against former club Barcelona in a friendly in July, the two clubs have confirmed today. Bayern will host Barça at the Allianz Arena on 24 July, a little over three weeks after Guardiola is due to take over from Jupp Heynckes as Bayern coach.
The deal between the two clubs was finalised during the general assembly of the European Club Association in Doha and announced today. The match will be named the Uli Hoeness Cup after the Bayern president, with all proceeds donated to charity.
