Bayern Munich winger, Arjen Robben, has revealed his disappointment at the news that manager Pep Guardiola, will leave the club at the end of the season.
Robben, who has featured prominently for the Bavarians under Guardiola, admits he will have to start again under new coach, Carlo Ancelotti.
“It is a real shame that Guardiola is leaving,” Robben told Dutch publication NOS. “Yes, I am a bit disappointed to see him leave.
“We will have to wait and see how things pan out with Ancelotti. It’s always like that with a new coach. You have to start all over again.
“But it is obviously still very early to say anything about it. It has just been formally announced, but we are only halfway through the season and there is still plenty to win.”
The Holland international has only played 12 of Bayern’s 27 games this season because of muscle injuries, but hopes to be back for the match against Hamburg on January 22.
“I expect to be fully match fit again for our first game after the winter break,” he said.
“I am happy that 2015 is nearly behind us. It has not been a good year for me. I got injured in March or April after a foul and never really got over it. I struggled from there on”, he added.
