Philipp Lahm hopes to send Pep Guardiola off with treble in tow

Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm hopes to send off his manager, Pep Guardiola, on a high note, aiming to procure three major titles for the 2015-16 campaign. 

 

Guardiola already announced his intention to leave the Bundesliga at the end of the season, eyeing a move to the English Premier League. Former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will be Bayern's next manager, and Lahm said he and his teammates have come to grips with the upcoming change.
"I have had and still have a very good time with Pep," Lahm told Qatari website sc.qa, as quoted by Sky Sports. "We understand each other well and it is enjoyable to play under him. But I have been playing since I was six and players and coaches come and go, so it is a natural part of the way things go and you accept and respect these decisions."
Despite his impending departure, Guardiola still has work to do in Munich. The Bavarians hold a comfortable eight-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga table, and remain in the UEFA Champions League with a round of 16 tie coming up against Italian champions Juventus.
Those two competitions, coupled with the DFB-Pokal German cup competition, give Bayern's players plenty to compete for and a treble prize to give Guardiola on his way out the door.
"The aim is to play successful football. For us that means that there should be titles at the end of the season," Lahm explained. "Anyone who knows FC Bayern and our history as well as our recent seasons knows we can play for the title in all competitions and win them.
"Our aim is always to go for the maximum and get all three titles, but we know how difficult that is. Of course it would be perfect to go home with all three titles at the end of Guardiola's time, we all have that aim."
