Jupp Heynckes is leaving the Munich "Bayern" club at the very top. On Saturday, the manager and the "Bayern" team won the third most important trophy of this season - the German Cup. In the final, the German champions and Champions League trophy holders defeated "Stuttgart" 3-2.
Munich "Bayern" - "Stuttgart" 3:2. T. Muller (37 - penalty), M. Gomez (48, 61)/ M. Harnik (71, 80).
"Bayern" became the first German team to achieve the "Treble": winning domestic championships, European trophies, and their country's trophies.
This is the seventh European team to have ever won the three main trophies. Previously done by Glasgow "Celtic" (1967), Amsterdam "Ajax" (1972), Eindhoven PSV (1988), "Manchester United" (1999), "Barcelona" (2009), and Milan "Inter" (2010) teams.
These 68-year-old Heynckes' last match at Bayern. It has already been announced that former "Barcelona" manager Josep Guardiola will take over the reins of the Munich club this summer.
Heynckes has squeezed practically everything out of his team this season and made the fans worry, as in Germany doubts are growing about whether Guardiola will be able to match this football genius immediately.
Where Heynckes will work next is currently unknown. The manager has been linked to Real Madrid, which will be vacated by Jose Mourinho, but the coach himself has rejected such rumors. Heynckes promised to announce his decision a few days after the German Cup final.
Previously, the coach has stated that he will definitely not work for another Bundesliga championship team.
