Bayern defends troubled coach

BAYERN Munich has strongly denied media reports that it is looking to replace coach Jupp Heynckes following a string of poor results.

The Bundesliga side said in a statement yesterday that it has "full confidence in Jupp Heynckes and his work" following reports that it was already considering alternatives to the 66-year-old. Bayern dismissed the reports as "rumor journalism" and said club bosses "condemn this outrageous media speculation, which is not based on facts, in the strongest terms." The club said it will consider legal advice against any similar reports in future. Bayern has only won three out of seven games since the winter break to slip seven points behind Bundesliga leader Borussia Dortmund with 10 games left to play.
