Müller fell down the pecking order under Kovac and went through a tough spell under the 48-year-old who was replaced by Hansi Flick in November.
"For me personally, there was a period when I was absolutely not satisfied. It's not a problem to sit on the bench. But I think I started on the bench six times in a row. That wasn't an easy time," Müller told Sport Bild and continued:
"But all in all, it was a good half year for me, because I was tested. And I feel I did well to pass this test. That's why I've come out of this situation stronger and with quite a bit of confidence."
Müller has made 25 appearances for Bayern this season, racking up five goals and 13 assists.
