England, Spain – Bundesliga ?: Kovac announces his coaching comeback

Immediately after his release at Bayern in early November, coach Niko Kovac announced a break. But soon the 48-year-old wants to intervene in the football business again. It is not yet clear where he will go. A hurdle: After the Munich club there are “not much bigger”.

Back from free time: Former FC Bayern head coach Niko Kovac wants to return to the coaching chair for the upcoming football season. “I assume that it will be something again in the summer, I’m preparing for that,” said the 48-year-old at ServusTV.

Specifically, the pre-season master coach named the top leagues of England, Spain and Italy as attractive addresses. However, the Bundesliga was “always interesting,” said the Croatian. When it comes to his next address, it is important to him that “something can arise.” But he knows that after FC Bayern “there are not much bigger.” Again and again it is said that the troubled capital club Hertha BSC would like to oblige him.

On the other hand, a renewed engagement with a national team like once in Croatia seems excluded. “National coach is certainly a nice job, but daily work is a lot more fun. I am ready to go where I feel valued and where I feel that something can happen,” said Kovac.

“Become a better trainer”

Kovac was released on November 3 after Bayern’s 1-5 defeat at his previous club Eintracht Frankfurt. His approximately one and a half years on Säbener Strasse were “instructive and successful”, he “became a better coach,” said Kovac. “I look back very positively,” is his conclusion, “I’m glad that I got this chance. FC Bayern is ultimately where everyone wants to go. Unfortunately, only a few make it.”

He is currently enjoying his life: “It took me time to get down. I can now feel the tension that you need as a coach.” So he could be there at the Superbowl in Miami and was skiing for a few days recently.
