‘I still have a contract until 2023 and I want to win more titles here! No speculation.’ Flick confirmed at a press conference.
On the subject of any potential approach from the DFB – German football’s governing body – he said: ‘They all already know me very well. I’m interested in the here and now.
‘I am now looking after my team and the game against Werder Bremen. As I said, speculation is not an issue for me.
‘Jogi called me the day before and told me that he wanted to take the step.
Flick led Bayern Munich to Champions League glory last season, he also won the Bundesliga
‘He did a very good job for German football. Can be very proud of what he has achieved.’
Since becoming Bayern boss in July 2019, Flick has amassed an incredible trophy haul which includes last season’s Bundesliga title and the Champions League.

‘You sign a contract and you normally try to stick to that contract don’t you?
‘I had a contract in Mainz where I stuck with them even though there was interest from other Bundesliga teams with more money.
‘It is just timing and if it doesn’t work out you don’t have to lose any sleep over it.
‘Jogi Low did an incredible job for so many years. I understand that he wants to have this highlight at the European Championship, try to squeeze everything out that he can in this tournament, and then somebody else will do the job.’
