The Bayern Munich was overwhelmed this Saturday by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga
This has caused the critical voices to come back regarding the continuity of Niko Kovac at the helm of the Bavarian project. The reigning German champion is suffering serious problems in the rear, despite the incorporations of Lucas Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard.
According to information from several media outlets in Germany, Kovac, 48, has been confirmed in the position, although it is evident that the image offered at the Commerzbank-Arena has left him more than affected. His first match-ball will be on matchday four of the group stage of the Champions League, a meeting in which he will face Olympiakos in Munich.
On the other hand, another interesting duel to measure the aspirations of the Croatian-German coach will be in the Bundesliga against his main rival in the race for the title: Borussia Dortmund, led by Lucien Favre (also on thin ice). According to Sport Bild, referring to an interview given by Bastian Schweinsteiger, Jose Mourinho would have his sights set on coaching in German territory: "I remember that he always asked me about Bayern and the Bundesliga. He knew all the players, even those from the smallest teams. He was already learning German."
Erik ten Hag, coach of Ajax Amsterdam, would be one of the desired by the technical department of the Allianz Arena entity. However, Niko Kovac must improve his performances against Olympiakos and Dortmund, especially if he wants to continue leading one of the best clubs in the Old Continent. Will he be able to finish the season at Bayern?
