Niko Kovac
Even if he is angry with his leaders, who did not hesitate to dismiss him following a first part of the season far from bad (6th place in Ligue 1, qualification for the knockout stages of the Europa League), Niko Kovac was particularly classy in front of his group, underlines L’Equipe.
The Croatian technician, “faithful to his image of a gentleman”, showed “no bitterness” by greeting his players one by one. The former Bayern Munich coach even admitted his wrongs and explained that he understands that his authoritarian methods might have caused weariness while recalling that he had been hired for it.
