Contributors: Bavarian Football Works Staff

After Bayern Munich was humiliated by his former team Eintracht Frankfurt in a 5-1 rout, the club leadership initially determined to give Kovac at least two more games to turn things around.

Here you will find all of the many pieces we have published on this abrupt turn of events.
