Boateng Wants Flick As Permanent Bayern Boss

December 17, 2019 5:20 pm

Veteran Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng said on Tuesday he would like interim coach Hansi Flick to be appointed on a full-time basis.

“I believe each one of us would be happy to continue with Hansi,” the 2014 World Cup winner told Munich newspaper Abendzeitung.

“He gets along well with everyone. The team is delighted with him but it’s not our choice,” he added.
