A former manager at the Bundesliga leaders believes proven coaches at Eintracht Frankfurt and Nice should be considered for a vacant role this summer
Ottmar Hitzfeld has urged Bayern Munich to pursue their former midfielder Niko Kovac or Lucien Favre to succeed Jupp Heynckes as coach.
Eintracht Frankfurt boss Kovac is considered among the contenders to take over the Bavarian giants, with Heynckes only contracted until the end of this season.
The ex-Croatia manager said this week there was "no reason" to believe he would leave his current post, while Frankfurt sporting director Fredi Bobic confirmed the club had not been contacted.
