Karl-Heinz Rummenigge pays tribute to "genius" Pep Guardiola

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge believes that the club are a more dominant force under Pep Guardiola.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has claimed that the work done by Pep Guardiola has made Bayern Munich a more dominant force in the last couple of years.

The pressure was on Guardiola when he arrived following a treble-winning season under Jupp Heynckes, but Rummenigge believes that the improvements have been clear since the Spaniard made the switch to the Allianz Arena.

"We changed our philosophy a bit in the fact we tried to get the biggest quality as possible and I believe the key factor is our coach Pep Guardiola. He is doing a fantastic job and he brings us a bit more quality as well than before," the Bayern CEO told reporters.

"I would say he is special in the fact that he is looking like a genius in his role - very sensible and he is working very hard every day. I like him a lot and we are very happy with having him in Munich.

"It is compatible because we had a good season before he arrived with Jupp Heynckes, when we won the treble, but [Guardiola] changed it a bit, the feel on the pitch - his style is very dominant, very offensive and spectacular. It works."

Guardiola can still repeat the Heynckes treble by winning the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League this season.
