'Kovac is the right man for Bayern' - Matthaus backs coach but slams stars

The former Germany star has criticised the club's big-name players and the hierarchy after a run of four games without a win and defended their coach

Lothar Matthaus has backed under-fire Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac - and slammed the German giants' star players and hierarchy.

Bayern have not won in four games and were beaten 3-0 at home by Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.

Club legend Matthaus admitted that performance was one of Bayern's 'worst in years' - but says they are paying the price for failing to rejuvenate an ageing squad, rather than blaming Croatian Kovac.
