Under-fire Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac will not be sacked at the end of the season, CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed on Friday. "It was never in question that he would be our coach next season," Rummenigge told the Bild newspaper, at an event in Berlin on the eve of Saturday's German Cup final. The 63-year-old has until now been considered one of Kovac's strongest critics in the Bayern boardroom.
