Kovac tried to create a new team spirit by rotating his players. He failed to build a healthy mixture of established forces and youngsters.

His second big problem: Several escapades of players like Frank Ribery, Arjen Robben, James Rodriguez, Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels, and Robert Lewandowski were tolerated by the club's leaders but undermined the coach's authority.

NEW COACH/SOLUTIONS

Former Arsenal coach Arsene Wegner is said to be on the list of potential replacements. The 69-year-old Frenchman speaks German and has the necessary experience on a high level. Wenger is said to want to add a new chapter to his career.

Former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is mentioned by German media. But it seems uncertain if the 46-year-old three-time Champions League winner feels like taking over a struggling team after he retired in Madrid.

Former Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuettl lacks experience as he never worked with a team of Bayern's quality. The 51-year-old Austrian refused to take over the Bayern job last summer announcing in public he lacks the needed experience.

Former amateur coach and current youth coordinator Hermann Gerland and assistant coach Peter Hermann could be a temporary solution until the end of the season as long as no other answer is around.

OVERAGED SQUAD

Bayern missed the right moment to rejuvenate its team. Old stars like Ribery (35) and Arjen Robben (34) were given new contracts. Commitments made by the stars to abide by the club's plans to initiate a gentle generation have not been followed.
