Bayern Munich have officially parted ways with head coach Niko Kovac after 16 months in charge.
Kovac leaves the club just one day after they were thrashed 5-1 at his former club Frankfurt.
They are currently fourth in the Bundesliga, four points behind leaders Borussia Monchengladbach after 10 games.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
FC Bayern Munich have relieved head coach Niko Kovac of his duties as head coach.
That was the result of a mutual discussion with Niko Kovac on Sunday involving Bayern president Uli Hoeneß, CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, during which Niko Kovac offered his resignation.
Assistant coach Hansi Flick will take charge of the Bayern first team until further notice and prepare the team for the important games in the Champions League against Olympiacos on Wednesday and Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Emery writing to Kovac like Hi bro, I feel your pain. it's not your fault, you just happen to be coaching the wrong club. At my Club (Arsenal), you never get the sack for getting 17points from 11games. just saw you had 18points from 10games n you were sacked. sorry bro...hope u were der when Chelsea whipped my ass in the uel final by 4goals to 1...hope you see it every week where I lose or draw games when I was leading by 2 goals to nil...but Bro HERE I STILL AM.

Bring in someone that will love the team and not the income. It's hard to find coaches that actually care about the players these days. They're mostly in it for the profits

That's how a progressive club react to "Failures" and what's Arsenal still doing with the inept Unai Emery in North London? Can someone tell them to toy the Bayern Munich way before he takes Arsenal to the relegation part?

It was certainly a players, but unfortunately coach gets sacked. I guess than it’s disciplinary punishment.
