Bayern Munich Appoint Jupp Heynckes As Manager Until The End Of The Season

Bayern Munich have appointed Jupp Heynckes as head coach.

Jupp Heynckes retired from football altogether following the 2012/13 season, in which he led Bayern Munich to an unprecedented treble of Bundesliga, DFB Cup and UEFA Champions League titles.

That haul also helped him scoop the FIFA World Coach of the Year award in 2013.

Former manager Carlo Ancelotti was relieved of his duties in the wake of Bayern’s disappointing start to the current campaign, with a 3-0 defeat away to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League proving to be the final straw for the club’s hierarchy.

Assistant coach Willy Sagnol took over the reins of first-team for Matchday 7, a 2-2 draw away to Hertha Berlin that leaves them five points behind Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund.

This will be Heynckes’ fourth spell at the club, having previously been at the helm from 1987-1991, for a five-game spell in 2009, and again from 2011-2013.
