You can blame Guardiola for a lot of things but he did his part trying to professionalise the club. I wasn't a fan of how they handled the Müller-Wohlfahrt situation, but he was right demanding there's gotta be a doctor on site and not just in the center of Munich. He was also right that Alfons Schubeck has to adjust his menu card to the needs of professional footballers, five star chef or not. And wasn't he the one who introduced daily blood tests to optimise training intensities?
I couldn't believe these things weren't already in place when he arrived at a club like Bayern. A club like Leverkusen had all that in place back then. And that's still far behind how they are working in Hoffenheim, or Leipzig (or what Tuchel tried to iimplement in Dortmund). Take the time and search for articles and interviews. They really are the avant garde in Germany, on an entirely different level regarding scientific approaches to enhance training and match performance.
Still don't get why you would want Rangnick in Munich, though. It could only end up in a disaster as long as Uli and Kalle are there, and he's not gonna get you the star players you desire, either. He has a clear philosophy of recruiting young players up to 23, and building homogeneous teams relying on team spirit and not star players. He's the prototypical Swabian, innovative, meticulous, grounded, and not all inclined to overspend on luxury. He's turned Leipzig into the most Swabian club on the planet. It's no coincidence he's succeeded beyond all expectations in Ulm, Hoffenheim, and Leipzig, and failed in Stuttgart and at Schalke. It doesn't work if you have to appease the egos of half a dozen club legends, and have to convince ten department chiefs who have been at the club since the stone age that now, all of a sudden, because you say so, they have to change their ways. It wouldn't work in Munich either, the way things are. Don't think he'd even waste a thought on moving, either.
