Bundesliga 2016/17

Who is Kovac at at the moment, Leverkusen or somewhere? Surprised they haven't gone for a massive name. Ancelottis time there probably made them rethink that way of going about things

I know him from playing alright. Wouldnt be familiar with him at  all managerial wise besides seeing him on the touchline in a random game or 2. Surprise appointment over in Germany? Is he playing an attractive style of football at Frankfurt?

Surprise appointment over in Germany? Is he playing an attractive style of football at Frankfurt? Most football fans in Germany would have known he was the favorite and therefore no surprise. Eintracht Frankfurt have been turned around by Kovac from relegation play-offs when he took  over in May 2016 to top six most of this season, good football to watch too. DFB Pokal semi-final at Schalke 04 coming up too.

  be interesting to see how he goes, and wheter he looks to bring in a new batch for a couple of the older lads in the team.

I thought Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim had been favourite for most of the year.
Interesting picking Kovac as IMO that is a big gamble - relatively inexperienced for such a top club.

He would have been better staying another year or 2 with Eintracht outside the spotlight

Still if he breaks their 7 titles in a row run, most of Germany will be delighted

Bobic not happy with Bayern which is no surprise

Pokal finale will be Eintracht vs Bayern.
I wonder what Kovac's team talk will be ????
