Neymar
.
Officially!
Niko Kovac poaches in the Bundesliga - and brings former Munich residents to Monaco
Update from September 2nd:
Ex-Bayern coach
Niko Kovac
turned
the team
upside down after taking office at
AS Monaco
.
Now he brought a Bundesliga star to the principality.
Kevin Volland is
moving from Bayer Leverkusen * to Monaco.
The transfer is already official.

Volland was trained at
TSV 1860 Munich
and played for the Löwen for four years.
Then his path led to the Werkself via TSG Hoffenheim *.
Kovac managed a real bargain: the striker's fee is around 15 million euros, ten million below his market value.
Currently the Bundesliga is apparently in a small "summer sale", which, according to
Karl-Heinz Rummenigges
, will not take place at Bayern *.
In addition to Volland,
Gian-Luca Waldschmidt
(Benfica Lisbon) and
Philipp Max
(PSV Eindhoven) moved abroad.
Kai Havertz's
mega-move
to Chelsea is imminent. Some fans are not friends of this development.
I think it's a shame that players like Volland, Koch, Waldschmidt and Max are leaving the Bundesliga.
Not to mention Havertz and Werner.

But there is also good news for all German football fans: A popular program will soon be on free TV *.
FC Bayern: Hansi Flick replaced Kovac furiously - but remains modest
Update from August 13th: Hansi Flick
has been head coach at Bayern Munich * since the beginning of November.
Spicy: The 55-year-old rose from assistant coach to boss and ultimately ousted his
predecessor Niko Kovac
from office.
Flick is responsible for a Bundesliga club for the first time in his career.
Despite this lack of experience, he confidently led Bayern to
double the championship and cup win
and now has the
triple in
mind
at the final tournament of
the Champions League *.
Despite these enormous successes, the world champion always remained humble.
Flick makes you sit up and take notice: Telephone conversation with Kovac
Flick now revealed in
Sport Bild
that he was still in
contact
with his former boss
.
A
telephone conversation is
said to have taken place
recently
.
Niko Kovac has
found a new club in
AS Monaco
and Flick picked up the phone.
"We are still in contact, and after he signed, we also called," said Flick.
The circumstances surrounding his rise from co to boss still seem to concern Flick.
He now chooses conciliatory words.
“
I'm grateful to Niko
that he brought me to Bayern.
We both can handle how it happened - even if we didn't expect it, ”says Flick, looking back.
For the future, he gives his predecessor some nice farewell words on the way: "I wish him and his brother Robert the
very best
."
The 55-year-old recently made it clear that Flick can not only be nice.

FC Bayern
*

And if you are a star and not playing, you are very unhappy and the stress for the coach is even greater. "
When asked which coach had particularly influenced him, he said: "Giovanni Trapattoni was a top coach and a fantastic person, just like Ottmar Hitzfeld." He also raved about
Christoph Daum
, a former opponent of
FCB honorary president Uli Hoeneß
.

Now he has the opportunity to prove himself again in Monaco.
Meanwhile, there is a strange rule change in the Bundesliga.
