BERLIN, May 17 -- Niko Kovac will leave his position as head coach of Bayern Munich at the end of this season despite having a valid contract until 2021, a German media report says.
The report, published by the online portals "spox" and "goal", claims the 47-year-old will get the sack even if Bayern win the 2018/19 Bundesliga title this weekend and the German Cup final against RB Leipzig seven days later.
Former Bayern Munich and Netherlands international midfielder Mark van Bommel is mentioned as Kovac's most likely successor. The 42-year-old played for Bayern between 2006 and 2011, winning two Bundesliga titles, and currently coaches Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, president Uli Hoeness, and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic are said to have decided to sack Kovac, as he stands accused of having lost his players' trust and not delivering satisfying tactical advice.
Training sessions are described as monotonous.
Key players such as Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery, James Rodriguez, Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich are said to be against Kovac continuing as Bayern coach.
Rummenigge denied the report. "It is a total hoax," the 63-year-old claimed. "There is no such decision."
The club will announce their decision after the cup final on May 25, "spox" says.
Neither Rummenigge, Hoeness nor Salihamidzic have expressed any kind of commitment backing Kovac over recent weeks.
