Frankfurt Spank Sorry Bayern Munich

By Daily Sports on November 3, 2019

Niko Kovac admitted his future as Bayern Munich coach hung in the balance on Saturday after suffering a 5-1 thrashing at Eintracht Frankfurt – the club’s heaviest Bundesliga defeat in a decade.

Bayern are now four points behind leaders Moenchengladbach after their biggest league loss since a humiliating drubbing at Wolfsburg by the same scoreline in April 2009.

That defeat a decade ago eventually cost Jurgen Klinsmann his job as boss and Kovac could face a similar fate as Frankfurt shredded 10-man Bayern after defender Jerome Boateng was sent off in the ninth minute.

Kovac has been in charge since June 2018, winning the league and cup double last season, but could only offer a glum “I don’t know” when asked about his gut feeling concerning the future.

However, he also weathered a difficult opening few months of last season to eventually win the league and cup double.

“I didn’t give up then and I won’t give up now,” Kovac added defiantly.

Goals by Filip Kostic, Djibril Sow, David Abraham and Martin Hinteregger put Frankfurt 4-1 up with an hour played.

Robert Lewandowski scored for Bayern in the first half, extending his league record of scoring in the first 10 games this season. 

Bayern captain Manuel Neuer expects the next few days to be “very restless” at Bayern, who host Olympiakos on Wednesday in the Champions League then second-placed Borussia Dortmund next Saturday at the Allianz Arena in a classic Bundesliga showdown. (Goal)
