"Is Munich, will Bayern coach Josep Guardiola take over the reins of the Qatar national team? The 44-year-old Spaniard's contract with the Bavarian club expires in 2016. According to sources from the German newspaper "Sport Bild," the Bayern coach may not extend his contract, as he has received a particularly lucrative offer from Qatar. Qatari sheikhs are prepared to pay J. Guardiola more than 10 million euros per year if he agrees to become the coach of the Qatar national team. The 2022 FIFA World Cup will take place in Qatar. Currently, the national team of this country ranks only 92nd in the FIFA rankings, but the Qatari sheikhs are full of ambitions to replicate the success of the national handball team. In the 2015 World Handball Championship at home, the Qatar national team climbed to the podium for the first time in history. The team coached by the 2013 world champion Spaniard Valero Rivera, in which only two Qatari-born handball players played, won silver medals. Qatari sheikhs aim to achieve success in football competitions after seven years, so they already have a plan on how to achieve this goal. Bringing J. Guardiola to Doha from Munich is the first and most important part of this plan."
