Bayern Munich's poor form has led to the sacking of manager Niko Kovac, just a day after their 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt on November 3, 2019.

The German giants sit in fourth place in the Bundesliga table, their worst position in over a decade.

According to Bayern Munich's Twitter, Kovac and the club agreed on a mutual separation, with former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho now favourite to take over.

However, Hansi Flick will take over until further notice and will manage the team against Olympiacos and Borussia Dortmund.

Kovac had been in charge since July 2018 and led Bayern to a league-and-cup double last season.
