Bayern Munich is on the verge of achieving a historic treble by competing in the German Cup final against Stuttgart. Having already secured the German Bundesliga title and the UEFA Champions League, Bayern aims to complete the treble with a victory in the cup final. The team, led by coach Jupp Heynckes, has dominated opponents throughout the season.
This match marks Jupp Heynckes’ last game with Bayern Munich, as he is expected to join Real Madrid as their coach. Anatoli Tymoshchuk, a player for Bayern Munich, revealed that there is a 99% chance of Heynckes becoming Real Madrid’s coach for the next season. This development comes despite earlier expectations of Zinédine Zidane forming a coaching duo with Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti, currently the coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), appears to be the loser in this coaching shuffle. Even though Ancelotti had reportedly designated his successor at PSG, Jupp Heynckes’ potential move to Real Madrid changes the landscape.
Jupp Heynckes, at the age of 68, has expressed a desire to continue coaching rather than retire. His impressive record at Bayern Munich has elevated the team to new heights, and he leaves a significant legacy.
The impending arrival of Pep Guardiola as the new coach of Bayern Munich adds an element of anticipation, as Guardiola faces the challenge of maintaining or surpassing the success achieved under Jupp Heynckes.
