Pep's Deutsch test on Monday
Pep Guardiola will give his first press conference as Bayern Munich coach next Monday with the ex-Barcelona boss having been declared the right man to lead the Champions League winners' new generation by the coach he replaces.
Guardiola's first appointment after a year's break with his family in New York, where, according to his brother, he has been learning German diligently.
Bayern have stressed Monday's opening press conference at Munich's Allianz Arena will be in German with Guardiola set to show off his hard-earned language skills from the start.
"Pep's done it like he always does things, obsessively. Four hours, every day, like a madman," his brother Pere Guardiola told magazine Spiegel, revealing how a German tutor was at the Spaniard's side on a recent trip to Europe.
