Franz Beckenbauer has said that Jurgen Klopp would be an option to replace Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich someday.

Guardiola's contract expires after the 15-16 season.

"Of course I could imagine Klopp as Guardiola's successor," Beckenbauer said. "When I was president, we often talked about Klopp and believe he would fit very well at Bayern.

"Klopp is definitely an option at Bayern. The question is, how long Guardiola will be in Munich. I hope for a long time, but Klopp would be considered.

"I can't imagine that Guardiola would leave in 2016. He likes Munich. He has had success with the team and he knows that he can succeed in the future. He has everything he wants."
