Bayern Munich Eying Up Big Managers To Replace Under-Fire Niko Kovač

Niko Kovač's spell at Bayern Munich could be heading towards disaster after a poor start to the season.

The 46-year-old coach arrived at the club in 2018 and succeeded Jupp Heynckes, who had stepped in as interim manager in the previous season after Carlo Ancelotti had been sacked.

According to the German newspaper Bild, the Bundesliga champions are ready to swing the axe down on Kovač and have shortlisted some world-class names to become their next manager.

Former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger and former Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc are three of the names to feature on Munich's radar.

The German club are sixth in the Bundesliga after seven matches and are four points adrift from league leaders Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern were thrashed 3-0 at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, which has only added pressure on the under-fire Kovač.

Should Bayern sack Kovač?
