Bayern Munich's new president Herbert Hainer has left the door open for Pep Guardiola to return to the club as manager.
Niko Kovac left his role as Bayern boss earlier this month following a string of bad results in the Bundesliga, with his final match a 5-1 away to Eintracht Frankfurt. Hansi Flick has been in a caretaker role since Kovac's departure.
In his first news conference as president, Hainer praised Guardiola, who won seven trophies in three seasons with Bayern.
"Pep Guardiola is a super manager who is under contract at Manchester City," Hainer said.
