Ex-Chelsea Star Backs Mourinho For Bayern Job

Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has backed Jose Mourinho for the Bayern Munich job.

In his latest interview monitored by popular media outlet Goal, ex-German international Ballack said that Mourinho would be the perfect man for the Bayern Munich managerial role.

Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho has been linked to the Bayern job as a replacement for current boss Niko Kovac who’s under serious pressure to keep his job.

Niko Kovac has struggled to impress as the manager of the Bavarian giants since he took the job at the start of this summer.

His Bayern Munich team is in a two-way fight for the German Bundesliga title with Borussia Dortmund.

At the end of last year, Dortmund had a nine-point lead over his Bayern team but Niko Kovac has been able to claw that deficit back.

Bayern have a one-point lead at the top of the table presently with five games to go.

The Bavarian giants can still win the domestic double as they are still in the German Cup.

The biggest disappointment of the Niko Kovac reign at Bayern Munich was the Bavarian giants’ inglorious exit in the Champions League at the hands of Premier League leaders Liverpool.

The Reds emerged victorious in their last 16 tie via a 3-1 aggregate win.
