According to the broadcaster, everything speaks for the former assistant of former head coach Niko Kovac to take over until the end of the season. Flick reportedly is in control of his own destiny, with a convincing performance in this weekend’s top game against Borussia Dortmund a factor in the decision about the 54-year-old’s future. Should Bayern do well, the former right hand of Joachim Löw is “highly likely” to stay on until the summer, especially as the atmosphere in the dressing room is understood to be significantly improved recently.

Rummenigge a huge fan of ten Hag - Ajax ready to negotiate

For the summer of 2020, Ajax’s ten Hag is reportedly the top choice for Bayern - especially CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is considered as a huge fan of the 49-year-old, who ruled out first to make the switch to Munich in the current season already. “I’ll stay at Ajax this season.
