Bobic slams 'disrespectful' Bayern for leaking Kovac news

Bayern Munich have been labelled "disrespectful" by Eintracht Frankfurt director of football Fredi Bobic for allegedly leaking news of their agreement with coach Niko Kovac a day before the announcement.

Reports began to circulate on Thursday that Bayern had made their decision regarding a successor to Jupp Heynckes, with Kovac said to be lined up.

That news was then confirmed on Friday, as it was announced Kovac - who played for Bayern between 2001 and 2003 - was to return to the club on a three-year deal next term.

And Bobic is less than impressed with the timing of the announcement, given Frankfurt are pushing for European football.
