Pep Guardiola's Squad Depth At Bayern Munich Is Outrageous

Pep Guardiola may be joining Manchester City this summer but the former Barcelona manager has left a plethora of talent in his wake for the next Bayern manager, Carlo Ancelotti.

The likes of Gotze, Thiago, Benatia, Alonso, Lewandowski and Arturo Vidal have been brought in during the Guardiola era and arguably all of the above have flourished under his management style at some point.

Not only has Guardiola evolved Bayern's status in the transfer market but the 45-year-old has built an empire when it comes to squad strength and depth.

Here is a visual of how strong Bayern's side is under Guardiola:

The fact that you can build two incredibly strong squads out of the above is testament to Pep Guardiola's reign at the Allianz Arena.

Munich

Bayern may have been knocked out of the Champions League at the beginning of May but the Bavarian giants are eight points clear of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

Guardiola's side will come up against Dortmund next weekend in the DFB Cup Final.

Can Guardiola sign off with another trophy?
