Pep up for Bayern! Guardiola set to make first appearance in stands at new club when Dortmund make cup visit to Allianz



Bayern Munich manager in waiting, Pep Guardiola, is set to watch his new club tonight for the first time since agreeing to take charge at the beginning of next season.

Reports in Germany have claimed that the former Barcelona manager will be in the stands to watch Bayern take on old foes Borussia Dortmund in their DFB Pokal meet this evening at the Allianz Arena.

The last time the two sides met in Germany's domestic cup was in last season's final, in which Dortmund ran out convincing winners with a 5-2 win.

Guardiola will be hoping to see his new side prevail this time around, after meeting with Bayern officials Matthias Sammer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in Zurich, according to German newspaper Bild.

Jupp Heynckes is in charge of Bayern until the end of the season, and has hardly been doing a shoddy job with the German giants.

The 67-year-old has guided Bayern to a 17-point lead over holders Dortmund in the Bundesliga, and looks set to see off Arsenal in their Champions League last-16 tie having despatched Arsene Wenger's men in a routine 3-1 win, keeping hopes of an historic treble alive.
