Jupp Heynckes Comes out of Retirement to Manage Bayern Munich for 4th Time

Bayern Munich have appointed former boss Jupp Heynckes to manage them until the end of the season following the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti.

The Bavarian outfit announced the German, who retired in 2013, as the new manager of the club on Friday:

His appointment marks the fourth time he has taken charge of Bayern and the second time he has done so on an interim basis.

After eight years with Borussia Monchengladbach, Heynckes first managed Bayern between 1987 and 1991, winning two Bundesliga titles and DFL-Supercups in the process.

Following a number of spells at clubs including Athletic Bilbao, Real Madrid—with whom he won the UEFA Champions League in 1998—and Benfica, Heynckes took two years out of the game in 2007 before returning to Bayern for five matches in 2009.
