Bayern Munich have confirmed that Niko Kovac will replace Jupp Heynckes at the end of season.
Recall that Jupp signed a deal to manage the Bavarians until the end of season after Carlo Ancelotti was sacked following loss to Paris Saint German in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Heynckes has won the Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich, this is his second time at the club, after he won the treble last time at the club.
The statement reads:
Niko Kovač will be the new FC Bayern München head coach from the start of the 2018/19 season. The German record champions and the 46-year-old have agreed a three-year contract from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021. His brother Robert Kovač (44) will join Niko Kovač, who is currently Eintracht Frankfurt head coach, as assistant.
"We're very delighted we've secured the services of Niko Kovač as new FC Bayern head coach," said sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić. "Niko played for Bayern, he knows the people in charge and the club's structures and DNA. We're convinced he's the right coach for the future of FC Bayern."
The former Croatia international and Croatia head coach contested 34 Bundesliga matches for FC Bayern from 2001 to 2003, scoring three goals. He and his brother Robert won the Intercontinental Cup in 2001 and the German championship in 2002 with FC Bayern.
