The Bavarian club sacked Niko Kovac this week and need a win against their rivals to kickstart their season
“The next Bayern Munich manager will also fail,” read a headline in Der Tagesspiegel this week after the Bundesliga club had sacked Niko Kovac 10 games into the league season. And although it had been coming, the 48-year-old’s departure raises more questions than it answers.
Which manager can succeed at Bayern at the moment is probably the most important one. It is a club that demands domestic success and would like to get to the
Champions League semi-finals at least. Jupp Heynckes and
Pep Guardiola have done tremendously well there in the past 10 years but the experiments with Carlo Ancelotti and Kovac have been failures.
