New Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola on Monday was officially announced as a new Adidas ambassador. Formerly a cultured defensive midfielder for FC Barcelona and Spain, Guardiola is now undoubtedly one of the best managers in the game and over the course of his career, he has become one of the most decorated names in football.

As part of his new ambassadorial role, Guardiola will become the face of this season’s Adidas UEFA Champions League campaign, Gamedayplus, which will run for the entire 2013/14 European club season.

Pep Guardiola has won the UEFA Champions League once as a player and twice as a manager, and has recently joined the reigning Champions League holders FC Bayern Munich.

Upon signing with Adidas, Pep Guardiola said, “It is with great pride that I have signed with Adidas as one of their ambassadors. Adidas have an amazing heritage but at the same time, they are also proud to be at the cutting edge of football and these are two qualities that I really admire. I’m looking forward to fronting their forthcoming UEFA Champions League campaign and fans can look forward to a further announcement in the next few weeks.”

Adidas will announce further details on Gamedayplus in the coming weeks.
