The anticipation fut coins for the second half of the Bundesliga season has transformed into anticipation for the 2013/14 campaign since it became clear that Pep Guardiola will be arriving in Germany this summer.
Guardiola s appointment as the new coach of Bayern Munich from July, coming two days before the restart of the season after a five-week winter break, has shifted the attention away from the final four months of the current campaign somewhat.
Yet business gets back to normal from tomorrow night when Schalke host Hannover in the first Bundesliga match of 2013. It promises to be a scramble for places in Europe next season behind a side which Guardiola seems certain to inherit as the defending Bundesliga champions.
