Pep Guardiola has claimed that his job will always be under threat if he fails to deliver regular success for Bayern Munich.

The Spaniard started life at the Allianz Arena by claiming a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double in his debut season, but a 5-0 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid saw their bid for a second successive Champions League title fail at the semi-final stage. The Bayern boss believes there is even more pressure on his shoulders ahead of the new season.

"There are no secrets. If I don't win, another coach will come next year," Guardiola told reporters. "I came to do my job the best way possible, like I did at Barcelona. I came to a different country where they play football in a completely different way.

"I intend to adapt myself and hope that they adapt to my ideas, but that process is not something achieved in a year.

"We won the Bundesliga and we won the Pokal in an incredible season. What happened against Madrid was a shame. Not that we lost, but that we lost an opportunity."

Bayern kick off their domestic campaign against Wolfsburg on August 22.
