Flick was first thought to be only an Interim Coach.
But now, he has been announced as a new Head Coach.
Bayern Munich have confirmed that Hansi Flick will remain in charge of the club till the end of the season after overseeing a brief upturn in fortunes for the German giants. The Bavarians sacked Niko Kovac back in November after a poor start to the campaign, and Flick was named interim boss till a replacement was found, but the impact of the German has been impressive since taking over temporarily.
Flick has overseen a remarkable turn in fortunes, with the Bundesliga side winning eight out of their ten games in all competitions under his leadership, leading to an official statement of his confirmation.

“We at FC Bayern are very satisfied with Hansi Flick’s work,” chairman and CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said on the club website. “Under him as head coach, the on-field development has been outstanding, both in terms of the quality of our play and the results achieved.” Flick was assistant coach for the German national team from 2006 to 2014, when Germany won the World Cup. He joined Bayern in July, initially as Kovac’s assistant.
It remains to be seen whether he gets the job on a permanent basis at the end of the season, but with several top level coaches such as Massimiliano Allegri, Mauricio Pochettino and Unai Emery without a job, it may be a hard call to make for Bayern Munich. As of now, they will hope the good form continues as the Bundesliga race heats up and winning the UEFA Champions League remains a possibility too.
