Kovac is allowed to breathe (for the moment)

On Saturday, Bayern must confirm its performance in the Bundesliga at Werder Bremen, otherwise the debate on Kovac should resume. Last Saturday, President Uli Hoeness gave him a guarantee for the Benfica match, his successor having already been traded, Arsene Wenger.

The Munichers came in the final for Kovac after Hoeness's fierce reprimand, especially the more closed team than the last and put a little more emphasis on stability. Ruf Vitoria, his shaky coach, also stumbled on the pitch because of his sometimes frightening defensive performances and the rise of his opponent.
