The German club’s chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge wants the Croatian to remain in charge for a number of years <\/p>\n

Under-pressure Bayern Munich boss Niko Kovac has received a vote of confidence from chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.<\/p>\n

Kovac, 47, succeeded Jupp Heynckes in the Bayern hotseat in the summer but the Croatian has found it difficult at the Allianz Arena so far.<\/p>\n

Bayern have won the Bundesliga title in the last six seasons but already face a battle to retain the championship under Kovac’s guidance.<\/p>\n

Bayern have impressed in the Champions League, winning four and drawing one of their five Group E matches, but that has not stopped speculation surrounding Kovac’s future.<\/p>\n

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been linked with replacing Kovac, but Rummenigge insists the club wants the ex-Frankfurt coach to remain in charge for a number of years.<\/p>\n

In an interview with AZ<\/em>, Rummenigge said: “The\u00a0wish of all us at FC Bayern is to collaborate with Niko Kovac for a long time.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s my wish that he not only is our coach at Christmas in\u00a02018, but also in 2019 and in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“He knows Bayern Munich. He\u2019s an extreme character, in a positive sense. He\u2019s a person that I like.<\/p>\n

“I see a coach who fights, who\u2019s ready to change a few things. And he has to change a few things.”<\/p>\n

Bayern’s public backing of Kovac comes after Wenger dodged questions about the speculation linking him with the Bundesliga giants.<\/p>\n

Responding to a question about Bayern, Wenger reportedly said at an event in Tignes, France: “I did not come here to talk about my future.\u201d<\/p>\n

But expanding futher on his desire to coach again, the Frenchman added: “I still have dreams. No, it\u2019s not over [my coaching career].<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are different ways to work as a coach, I can also train young players. But I\u2019m still fit. I still want it.<\/p>\n

“Since I have gained a lot of experience, life makes it less interesting not to share what you have learned. Passing on what you have learned is part of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
