Bayern Munich Appoints Jupp Heynckes As New Head Coach

Following the sack of Carlo Ancelotti last week, Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munich has named Jupp Heynckes as head coach until the end of the 2017/18 season.

The German champion made the announcement on their website, on Thursday.

The 72-year-old retired from football following the 2012/13 season, in which he led the Bavarians to an unprecedented treble of Bundesliga, DFB Cup and UEFA Champions League titles.

Heynckes also bagged the FIFA World Coach of the Year award in 2013.

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.

This will be Heynckes’ fourth spell at the club.
