For Bayern President Uli Hoeneß a provisional adherence to Hansi Flick after the successful start with the interim coach is no alternative. "One thing is clear: After such an outstanding week with two convincing victories, you can not say that we're going to send Hansi Flick away and get someone who might only be able to work for a few months," said the 67-year-old Saturday night in the ZDF sports studio after the 4: 0 against Borussia Dortmund.
The outgoing in the coming week President also revealed that the club was forced to act under head coach Niko Kovac after 1: 5 at Eintracht Frankfurt a week ago. Kovac had lost the backing in the team. "There have certainly been currents within the team that wanted the coach away, so the leadership responded accordingly," Hoeness said.
In the succession plan for Kovac there is "no decision at all," said Hoeneß. "During the talks, which are due in the next few weeks, we will certainly start by talking about Hansi Flick."
With the two victories in the Champions League against Olympiakos Piraeus (2: 0) and against BVB in the Bundesliga, the club has gained time, "he needs to be clear what he wants". The goal must be a "long-term solution," Hoeneß said: "Until it comes to one, I think Hansi Flick is not a bad solution."
