Jupp Heynckes believes next Bayern Munich head coach Niko Kovac was "predestined" to take charge at the club.
The newly crowned Bundesliga champions announced on Friday the Eintracht Frankfurt boss will take the reins at the Allianz Arena on July 1 on a three-year deal.
Heynckes, who was drafted in for the remainder of the season when Carlo Ancelotti was sacked in September, thinks the club have made the right decision by appointing the former Croatia international.
"I have already said that Niko Kovac works with a lot of different types of players and nationalities at Frankfurt," he told a news conference.
