MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich earned their seventh straight Bundesliga crown on Saturday's final matchday with a 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt but their most hard-fought league title in a decade highlighted the need for a major overhaul. German football fans have thoroughly enjoyed the tight title race between Bayern and Borussia Dortmund but with 78 points, it is their lowest tally in their seven seasons of dominance. Gone are the days of complete domestic control under big-name coaches such as Jupp Heynckes, Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti when league titles were won as early as March. Despite his team still in the running for the domestic double, it has been a rollercoaster debut season at Bayern for the Croat, whose future in Munich is still unclear. Even a double may not convince a success-spoilt Bayern to stick with him next season.
