Bayern Munich President Uli Hoeness Confident Of Reaching An Agreement With Jupp Heynckes

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has confirmed that the Bavarians are in talks with Bayer Leverkusen coach Jupp Heynckes and added that he’s confident the two parties will reach an agreement in the coming days.

Current Bayern coach Louis van Gaal will leave FC Hollywood at the end of the season and they’ve been linked with Heynckes ever since the Dutchman’s imminent departure was made public.

“Both parties are interested in working together. We will enter contract talks in the coming days,” Hoeness was quoted as saying by Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung.

“I’m confident that those talks will have a positive outcome. The club’s board members are all behind the appointment of Heynckes.”

The 65-year-old Heynckes revealed earlier this week that he’ll leave Leverkusen at the end of the season. He previously worked at Bayern from 1987 until 1991 and as caretaker coach in 2009.
