Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has hinted that Hansi Flick will remain the club's manager into next season.
Flick was hired midway through the current campaign, originally replacing Niko Kovac as an interim manager in November.
By December, Flick had been appointed the club's manager through the end of the season and, under his leadership, Bayern currently sit atop the Bundesliga.
Under Flick, Bayern have won 15 of the 18 matches the club has played, losing just twice during that span.
Speaking at a banquet, Rummenigge offered a gift to Flick, who turned 55 on Monday, while hinting that the gift would precede an extended stay in charge of Bayern Munich.
