Although it looked like Kovac’s job was safe for the time being despite a series of underwhelming results, the Bavarians parted company with the Croatian tactician after a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt. Assistant manager Flick was appointed on an interim basis and the club indicated that their search for a new manager could continue into the international break.
The likes of Erik ten Hag and Jose Mourinho were reportedly amongst the candidates considered, but Arsene Wenger is reportedly the front-runner for the job as the legendary Frenchman is well acquainted with the Bayern hierarchy.
The former Arsenal boss confirmed that he is currently in negotiations with the Bavarian giants and two parties could come to a decision in the coming days.
Speaking in the wake of Bayern’s stunning 4-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Der Klassiker, Rummenigge confirmed that Flick will remain in charge for the time being as they continue their search for a permanent manager.
The record German champions could make an appointment during the international break and Wenger is expected to make his decision imminently.
