Before working in Munich, the 48-year-old worked as a coach at Red Bull Salzburg and Eintracht Frankfurt. Kovac is also based in the Austrian city, where the talk format "Sport and Talk from Hangar-7" is also recorded. He is currently not pursuing any professional activity, but according to his own information, Niko Kovac is again ready to take on a coaching job : “Now I'm slowly beginning to feel the urge, the joy, the will, to do something again as a coach. I feel the tension again. I am assuming that I will do something again in the summer, I am preparing for that. ”
Niko Kovac: "Go where I feel valued"
The exciting question is: Which league does the coach head to, who won the DFB Cup (FC Bayern, Eintracht Frankfurt) with two different clubs? “ There is not much bigger than Bavaria . But I do not care. If I can identify with a club, I'll do it. There are many good leagues - England , Spain , the Bundesliga is always interesting. ”
Taking over a national team again is obviously out of the question in the near future . Kovac says: “I have already done that - and I like the daily work more. I am ready to go where I feel valued. ”From October 2013 to September 2015, the married father of a daughter looked after the Croatian national team .
