Flick named as Bayern head coach
Bayern Munich interim coach Hansi Flick will remain in charge until the end of the season, the German Bundesliga champions said yesterday.
Flick was promoted from the coaching staff after Niko Kovac’s dismissal following Bayern’s 5-1 thrashing away to Eintracht Frankfurt last month.
He was initially hired for two matches against Olympiakos in the Champions League and against Borussia Dortmund in the league. But after two wins he was trusted to continue until the winter break.
Following Bayern’s 2-0 win at home to VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday, CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic agreed that continuing with Flick is “explicitly a viable option”.
“Under him as head coach, the on-field development has been outstanding, both in terms of the quality of our play and the results achieved,” Rummenigge said in a statement.
