MOURINHO WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT MANAGER FOR BAYERN MUNICH - MICHAEL BALLACK

Formal Bayern Munich and Chelsea star Michael Ballack feels that his former Chelsea head coach would be a good appointment for his old club Bayern Munich.

Mourinho was dismissed by Manchester United midway through his third season at Old Trafford after a dismal first half of the campaign and was replaced with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

In Munich, Niko Kovac suffered a poor start to his Bayern career, ceding ground at the top of the table to Borussia Dortmund . He has since turned things around, though, and Bayern recently demolished their title contenders 5-0 at home to return to the summit of the Bundesliga .

Ballack who played under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea feels that the decorated Portuguese coach would be an excellent appointment for the German giants if they were to ever bring him on board.

"Right now Niko Kovac is the head coach and that should be respected," Ballack told Bild.
"He does a good job. [But] one cannot deny that, at some point in the future, the appointment of Mourinho would bring a certain glamour to the club and the Bundesliga.
"It has been seen with Pep Guardiola - his appointment gave the league a giant jolt, even if he did not win the Champions League at the end with Bayern.
"Guardiola introduced a certain style of play, he's an exceptional coach. In addition, the international profile of each club is many times higher when you get Guardiola or Mourinho.
