When Pep Guaridola arrived at Bayern Munich in the summer of 2013, the club had reached its zenith with a treble of titles and the looks of more heights to be reached.

But two seasons into his tenure, the success of the renowned coach has wavered and after two straight Champions League failures of monumental proportions, it might be time for Bayern Munich to reflect on its future. Here are a few things the team must do to move forward.

Youth Movement

A look at this team's top players reveals something disconcerting -- most of them are over the age of 30. Arjen Robben is 31, Franck Ribery is 31, Xabi Alonso is 33, Bastian Schweinsteiger is 30 and Phillipp Lahm is 31. Alonso not included, that is the core of this team for the better part of the last few years. With age come injuries and the world saw that this club suffered without adequate replacements for its top players.

Thiago Alcantara is the new face of the team at age 24 alongside Thomas Mueller and David Alaba; Pep Guardiola or the ensuing manager must make it a priority to build around these players with younger stars. Ilkay Gundogan comes to mind as a major player and while we are at it, why not look over in Marco Reus' direction?

Mario Goetze must refind his form

Once dubbed the next "Messi," the German player has fallen out of favor with Pep Guardiola and found himself relegated to the bench for these crucial ties against Barcelona. He got a three minute cameo in the second leg.

This is not completely unexpected since Goetze has failed to score or assist in a game since March 11 when Bayern destroyed Shakhtar 7-0. He also pulled off a big two-goal, one assist performance in an 8-0 games against Hamburg.

In essence, this is not the superstar that can change games. He is still only 22 and has time to mature, but he will be a crucial, if not the most crucial building block for this team moving forward.

System Changes?

Tiki taka might be dead. Barcelona has surely moved on and has a more adaptable and direct style that is helping the squad find a new gear.

For Guardiola, this is simply not working the way he had hoped. Everyone knows how he will attack and is ready to shut him down. Against weaker sides it is not an issue. But against the top clubs in the world and in the Bundesliga, it is clearly not the answer.

Guardiola has not helped his cause with the constant tinkering with formations. When he has managed to get the team clicking into gear, it has looked unstoppable. But a lot must be said for the fact that defensively, this club looks weak.

The high defensive line is also a tactic that Guardiola must move away from. It cost him the semifinals against Barcelona and, last season, Real Madrid.

New Manager?

New manager would probably be the best way to change the tactics, but is there really anyone out there better than Guardiola at this very moment? The team might be tempted to move on from the Catalonian, but no one is more ambitious than Guardiola or has the drive to succeed in Munich. He has brought home another Bundesliga title in dominating fashion.

And before anyone questions his decision in the UCL, it is essential to remember that this was a team missing a plethora of top stars against a fully healthy Barcelona team.

He should get another year to make it work. If that fails, then obviously it is time to cut ties with him.
