Heynckes hoping to avoid beer shower on Bayern Bundesliga farewell

Jupp Heynckes is hoping he can avoid Bayern Munich's traditional beer shower on his Bundesliga farewell.

The veteran coach will lead Bayern in a league game for the final time on Saturday, with the champions welcoming Stuttgart to the Allianz Arena.

Heynckes, who will be replaced by Eintracht Frankfurt coach Niko Kovac at the end of the season, has won four Bundesliga titles at Bayern.

But the 73-year-old wants to stay dry when Bayern's players roll out their beer shower celebration at the end of the Stuttgart match.

"Bayern know how to celebrate on a big scale," Heynckes told reporters on Friday.
