Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthäus hailed the Bavarians’ decision to sign manager Hansi Flick to a permanent deal after the club’s stellar form during his reign.
Bayern were having a tumultuous campaign before they sacked Niko Kovač in November. Since Flick took over, Bayern have been nearly untouchable, winning 18 of their 21 matches and surging back to the top of the Bundesliga table.
Flick was rewarded on Friday with a contract that will keep him around until 2023 and Matthäus believes Bayern are more harmonious than ever before.
“Definitely [the logical decision], it would have been incomprehensible if Bayern hadn’t extended with him,” Matthaus said to AZ.
“Hansi absolutely deserves this. FC Bayern are on the right track with him. It’s a harmony like last seen under Jupp Heynckes, the team plays great football.
“He has improved the team overall, their football and tactically. In addition, there is his human dealings. Thanks to him, players like Jerome Boateng and Thomas Muller have once again reached their top level.
“And Hansi also relies on young players like Alphonso Davies or Joshua Zirkzee.
“This is important because FC Bayern wants to ensure that the young players find their way from the youth centre [to the first-team] as often and regularly as possible. Hansi can shape an era in Bavaria.
“It could (also) be a sign to all players who have not yet renewed their contract: Thiago Alcantara, Thomas Müller, David Alaba, Manuel Neuer.
“Flick has raved enormously about Neuer in recent weeks, calling him the world’s best goalkeeper.”
