Hansi Flick is returning to Bayern München to work as Niko Kovac's assistant coach, the club have announced.

The former Bayern player, who worked as an assistant for Germany coach Joachim Löw between 2006 and 2014, is back at Säbener Straße where he will be replacing Peter Hermann who left the Bavarians after last season.

"I already knew all about Säbener Straße. During my time at the DFB, I was often there, visiting the club and the coaches, so I already knew what to expect. But of course, I was happy to be back. I'm looking forward to the job, to working with players again and working with Niko [Kovac]," Flick told the club's website and added:

"When they asked me, I didn't have to think too long about it. Bayern Munich is a club that is close to my heart, a top destination."

Among other things, Flick has also previously worked as a sporting director for the German Football Association and as head of sport for Hoffenheim.
