Former Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld is “convinced” that Bayern could win the title under current coach Niko Kovac.
Hitzfeld won the Champions League and five Bundesliga titles in two spells in charge of Bayern between 1998 and 2008.Despite leading Bayern to a seventh successive league title this season, Kovac has continuously had to fight off speculation over his future amid rumours of dressing room disharmony and lack of boardroom support.
“It was difficult for him as a young coach. You have to give game time to players like Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, while also building up younger players like Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman.” Hitzfeld knows better than most about the pressures of the Bayern job, having been fired by the club in 2004, a dismissal he later described as “a relief”.
He retired from football in 2014, but dismissed the idea that younger coaches such as Kovac and RB Leipzig-bound prodigy Julian Nagelsmann were a different breed to his generation.
