Bayern hits back at Frankfurt

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness hit back at criticism from Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Fredi Bobic over the signing of Niko Kovac as coach by labeling his comments “quite outrageous.”

Bobic blasted Bayern on Friday for the timing of its announcement that Frankfurt coach Kovac would be switching to Bayern next season, and for not getting in touch beforehand. Hoeness responded after Bayern’s 5-1 rout of Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday, telling Sky TV, “We deliberately didn’t say anything about it yesterday because we found the comments of Fredi Bobic to be quite outrageous.
