Renato Sanches is pushing for more Bayern Munich game time after failing to make an impact in his two years at the club, says new coach Niko Kovac.
Sanches flopped on loan at Swansea City as the Welsh club were relegated from the Premier League last term.
The Portugal international has struggled since joining Bayern for €35 milllion from Benfica before Euro 2016, where he was crowned Young Player of the Tournament.
But a fresh start appeared to be promised under Kovac and the 20-year-old impressed in his coach's first game in charge of Bayern, scoring a fine free-kick as the Bundesliga side came from behind to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in the International Champions Cup on Saturday.
