- Kovac divides opinion -Other stars of Bayern's golden decade have also seen young players emerging behind them this season. In a recent interview with Munich newspaper TZ, president Hoeness said the young players' success was proof that Bayern had begun their overhaul at just the right time. How much the successful transition is down to coach Niko Kovac, however, remains a bitterly divisive question at Bayern. Hoeness has repeatedly backed Kovac, while CEO Rummenigge has remained sceptical, telling Sky TV that "nobody has a job guarantee at Bayern". Whether Kovac stays or not, the winds of change are blowing through Munich, with departures also looming at boardroom level.
