MUNICH -- Niko Kovac has vowed to shrug off the negativity surrounding his appointment as Bayern Munich coach.
Kovac, 46, joined the Bundesliga champions on a three-year contract in the summer, having beaten them in DFB Pokal final in his final game of charge of Eintracht Frankfurt.
However, questions were asked about his suitability, with only a stint in charge of Croatia and their under-21 team between 2012-15 on his CV before Eintracht.
"That's the way people are in general, they see everything negatively at first and then choose to ask questions," Kovac told a news conference.
