Eintracht Frankfurt coach Niko Kovac has reportedly been chosen as the next Bayern Munich manager.

According to the report from SPORT BILD, Bayern Munich chiefs have identified Niko Kovac as the one to take over from current coach Jupp Heynckes.

Heynckes, 72, replaced the sacked Carlo Ancelotti earlier in the season and has managed to improve the fortunes of the team on the field of play.

Bayern bosses had earlier been looking for a German-speaking coach and they got their wish with the 46-year old Croatian who should be unveiled by the club at the end of month.
