Hansi Flick will continue as Bayern Munich head coach for the remainder of the season and could get the job on a long-term basis, the Bundesliga champions announced on Sunday.
Placed in charge following Niko Kovac s exit in November, Flick has overseen eight wins from 10 games in all competitions and is now seen as a viable option for the job permanently.
He will have the rest of the club s Bundesliga and Champions League campaigns to audition for the position after impressing chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.
Bayern, who parted ways with Kovac after a poor start to their title defence, are four points adrift of leaders RB Leipzig heading into the mid-season break following Saturday s 2-0 win over Wolfsburg.
Rummen…
