Bayern: Zidane, Wenger or Hasenhüttl: who will be the successor to Kovac?

Munich – dark weather at Bayern Munich. After the embarrbading 3: 3 home game against the promising Fortuna Dusseldorf, powerless people are currently in the face. Uli Hoeness, who also has trouble with the legendary Bayern's Paul Breitner, was "completely down" after the match and was no longer in public unconditionally behind coach Niko Kovac. The club must now "put everything in question", there would be a "need for discussion".

These phrases are more like farewells than second chance. To "defend with blood" no trace. Bayern's president has confirmed that Kovac in the Champions League match against Benfica on Tuesday would remain on the bench, but speculation over Kovac's replacement, now fully eligible, should be specified. Even the Croatian himself seems to have made his possible end in the cabin a subject to be treated. He should have cracked powerful.

Also interesting: Who has the damage does not need to worry about ridicule. This thesis is true for the moment at Bayern. Unusually, the Häme is now running from rival Borussia Dortmund. Hans-Joachim Watzke even takes the word "nausea" in the mouth.

Bayern Munich: These coaches could become Kovac's successor

Zinedine Zidane: The Frenchman has won the Champions League three times in a row with Real Madrid and would certainly be the most remarkable solution. Aged 46, he has no club since leaving the Royal League. However, Zidane is considered the adopted son of Carlo Ancelotti. If "Carletto" would recommend the FCB after its rather dirty separation as a station to his "Zizou"?

Arsène Wenger: Even before the match in Dortmund, the name of the former coach of Arsenal haunted the Säbener Straße. The needs profile would be appropriate: Wenger is experienced, speaks German and has already survived one or two changes with Arsenal. The 69-year-old recently announced that he would like to work again. by picture-Information more and more often the name of the Alsatian at Bayern internally. Wenger says that he feels ready for new tasks.

Ralph Hasenhüttl: Another leading solution in German language. The Austrian worked successfully for two years at RB Leipzig and with the "Bulls" 2017 immediately after the promotion of the Bundesliga, he won the title of champion. However, Hasenhüttel is also very little experienced in the treatment of stars. If a commitment would be a kind of Kovac 2.0. Hermann Gerland is considered a big fan of this 51 year old player.

FC Bayern: a temporary solution?

Mark van Bommel: The same goes for the former Bayern star, who put on the German champion's shoes from 2006 to 2011. The Dutchman has a stable odor and has been very successful with PSV Eindhoven since taking office this summer. (13 wins out of 13 wins). Legendary coach Huub Stevens recently introduced van Bommel as Bayern's potential coach. The lack of experience on the sideline makes that engagement in his former club currently seems very unlikely – for now!

Antonio Conte: The Italian tactical expert is undoubtedly one of the best coaches in the world. However, in the industry, Conte is not easy in the industry. One may wonder if Hoeneß and Rummenigge will accept the eccentric in the long run. More recently, the 49-year-old was badociated with Real Madrid, but Santiago Solari's decision to succeed Julen Lopetegui failed.

Hermann Gerland and Peter Hermann: A tandem with badistant coach Hermann and veteran FCB Gerland would be a temporary solution. Thus, Munich has had time to look for a new coach for next season.

Hoeneß wants to defend Niko Kovac at Bayern Munich "to death"

News of 08.10.2018 13.19 hours: Niko Kovac took some time to thaw on Sunday during FC Bayern's visit on the occasion of the Oktoberfest. When the coach of the record champion arrived in front of Wiesnschanke from Käfer and the sports director Hasan Salihamidzic applauded for the photographers with a mbad, his expression was extremely serious. Kovac does not smile. It only changed in the marquee.

When he grilled with council boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, he seemed resolved. Is this one or the other of the measures that relieved him? Or was it the encouraging words of the Bavarian chefs who made Kovac smile? You do not know

Bayern President Uli Hoeness, who pointed out a few days ago that the coaching post of the record champion might be an ejection seat ("In the end, he has to restrain himself.") appeared before Niko Kovac and disappeared after Maßkrug's mandatory photo for sponsor Paulaner at the Bayern basketball game.

For this, Hoeness makes his report in the "kicker" and strengthens the back of Niko Kovac. He had "not thought for a moment" of damaging Kovac more or less discreetly, pointing out that he had to turn his head for rotation. It's not enough: "I'm going to defend Niko Kovac to the brim." Also facing four consecutive non-winning competition games (including two consecutive Bundesliga defeats) and sixth in the table, Hoeness points out: "We have total peace." What can only mean: Niko Kovac can still feel safe as a Bayern coach. Previously, Hoeneß had in the South German newspaper already pointing out that he's appearing "like a man" in Kovac *: "No matter what will happen in the coming weeks."

Pressure on Kovac at Bayern increases

No question: the pressure on Niko Kovac increases. After losing 0-3 to Gladbach on Saturday, after being denied full support from the club's management, the coach replied, "I guess I had the approval for the first seven games, now, after the four games, I think so too. "However, Kovac also added," It's not me who can answer that question. "

Uli Hoeneß answered this question unequivocally. With a clear "yes" In addition, the director of the board, Rummenigge, and the sports director, Salihamidzic, can encourage the photographers accompanying the coach during FC Bayern's visit to Oktoberfest, which makes it a kind of support.

Uli Hoeneß strengthens the back of Niko Kovac: does nothing remain?

However, points Mirror online In the light of Hoeness's recent statements in Kovac that Bayern bosses could quickly lose the coach. "The current support of the boss of Bayern has hardly surprised: Bayern also hired Niko Kovac, who had no choice but the coaching post."

Hoeneß was hoping for too long to continue Jupp Heynckes. When it was clear that Heynckes would not want another season at Bayern, Thomas Tuchel – the desired Rummenigge candidate – has already signed with PSG. Jürgen Klopp was not available either. "That's how you ended up with Niko Kovac, so an early expulsion from Croatia would be detrimental to Hoeneß herself."

It says: The leaders of Bayern currently have no alternative, because Niko Kovac has the mission to "defend himself to death" and defend him "as a man". Hoeneß had clenched his fist in his pocket Sunday and Monday? The question remains open.

World clbad coach as a possible successor to Kovac Bayern?

But is there really no alternative to Niko Kovac? Monday, dives in the pictureThe newspaper suddenly became a great Bayern coach: Zinedine Zidane *, who had stopped this summer at Real Madrid after winning the Champions League three times in a row with the Royal. Of course: Zidane would be available. But if the French would be interested in Bayern? Would the Bayern bosses really negotiate with Zidane behind Niko Kovac's back?

There was something like that. As a reminder, Bayern was as bad as under Niko Kovac in the 2010/2011 season under Louis van Gaal. A few months before the end of the season, the club announced in March 2011 that his contract with van Gaal as coach at the end of the season had been resolved prematurely and amicably. The hat conjured up the boss Jupp Heynckes. Two years later, the triple followed.

Nevertheless, there are differences in the situation at the time. Already several months before the end of Louis van Gaal at Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeneß made it clear that the relationship between the coach and the president had been broken ("I do not have much to discuss with him . ") What Hoeneß says about Niko Kovac is different: Moreover, during the last season of van Gaal, Wiesn's visit to Bayern was canceled due to the crisis;

It's now the international break anyway. Niko Kovac only has the opportunity to justify the confidence of Uli Hoeness on October 20 at VfL Wolfsburg. And anyway: even in the first season of Louis van Gaal, everything was round in the fall. In the end, there was still the championship and the final of the Champions League. Maybe Niko Kovac makes such a turnaround.
