Robert Lewandowski Says Hansi Flick Has 'Breathed a New Life' into Bayern Munich

Robert Lewandowski has said interim Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick has "breathed a new life" into the club after the exit of Niko Kovac.

Kovac was sacked earlier this month after Bayern were thrashed 5-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga:

Flick was installed as interim boss, and before the international break he oversaw a 2-0 victory against Olympiakos in the UEFA Champions League and a 4-0 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund in the German top flight.
