With pressure mounting on the boss' shoulders after a run of adverse results, he has received the backing of the Bayern supremo
Struggling Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac has received a vote of confidence from CEO Uli Hoeness, who has vowed to stick with the boss "no matter what".
Kovac is a favourite at Allianz Arena having starred in defence with the club as a player.
He has found life on the bench rather more difficult, however, starting Bayern's latest title defence with two defeats in seven while also being held by Ajax at home in the Champions League.
