Arturo Vidal has claimed the Bayern Munich squad only learned of Pep Guardiola's decision to leave the club after hearing the news on television.

Manchester City announced this month that Guardiola will replace Manuel Pellegrini as manager at the end of the season, with Carlo Ancelotti succeeding the Catalan at the Allianz Arena.

And Vidal has suggested the news came as an unwelcome surprise for the players, though he is now determined to secure the treble in order to give Guardiola the best possible send-off.

"It was strange and we only learned about it by watching TV," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Either way, after him we'll have an excellent coach like Carlo Ancelotti. For now we want to win everything so Pep can leave happy."
