Pep: "If as a coach you are no longer capable of motivating you players you know that the time to leave has come."
Pep about the SF against Chelsea:
"That was a big defeat for me. I felt as if I wouldn't be able to lift the team ever again."
He still earns less in 3 years of contract with Bayern than Neymar Sr. for letting Neymar Jr. play for us.

I'd love to see Bayern face a strong team this year (and no I don't consider Arsenal a strong team, sorry) only then will I be able to decide whether Pep has made them better or worse. Them facing RM in the quarters would be amazing, Pep's nightmare come true.
I guess we know where you rank Chelsea or Man City

Tbh it was pretty embarrassing to lose to a team coached by Pellegrini. Probably as bad as losing to Arsenal in 2011.

Chelsea is always there, more so with Mourinho. And the clash with Chelsea was, if I remember correctly, not so pleasant for Bayern. Besides, that was in August, that was only the beginning of Pep's influence, so that doesn't count. And City, I really don't know how to rate that team, but mentally definitely not a strong team either, as we saw in both games against Barca. A strong team would be RM or Barca, maybe even PSG, then we'll see what Pep's Bayern is capable of.

People learn little from their victories, but a lot from their defeats. How do you deal with setbacks?
GUARDIOLA: Those are moments of great sadness for me. As if the floodlights suddenly go out. Seeing Barcelona go out against Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final in 2012 was such a moment. We were much better than our opponents, but then conceded an unnecessary goal in the return leg, and before we knew it we were out of the competition. That was a really tough defeat for me. I felt like I could no longer reach my team.
And was that what prompted you to leave Barcelona?
GUARDIOLA: Yes. If you can no longer reach your players, as a coach, the time has come to move on.

"We were incredibly successful. 14 titles within the space of just four years meant it was the best period in the club’s entire history. But it can also be a curse. I found it increasingly difficult to motivate both myself and my team"
Which shows extremly well now. Most players have won everything you can hope to win as a footballer.

A stilted interview staged for Audi advertising purposes, trying to draw parallels between a CEO and soccer manager. A few interesting tidbits of info from Guardiola there; at least they were honest that their roles are entirely different.
