"It's true that we met!" – Hoeneß confirms he met Pep Guardiola in München

Last Monday, as BILD understands, Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge met with Pep Guardiola over dinner in München.  

Guardiola had an appointment with his sponsor Puma in Herzogenaurach and used the chance to make a brief visit to his former home.

The Spaniard, who recently left his head coach role at Manchester City, maintains a very good relationship with Bayern Munich's bosses.

“It’s true that we met. Pep, Karl-Heinz and I share a very close friendship. We had a wonderful evening," Uli Hoeneß informed BILD.

At Guardiola's request, Vincent Kompany was also invited to the rendezvous, but the Belgian unfortunately had to decline the offer. 

Instead, Kompany was attending the coaches' conference in Stuttgart which happened to clash with the timing of the dinner.

“We will gladly reschedule the meal with Vincent and Pep at the next opportunity," said Hoeneß, suggesting another meetup may happen.
