Jupp Heynckes has cried this Saturday to live tears in his farewell to the Bundesliga: former Madrid coach, Athletic in two stages and Tenerife has not been able to repress the tears when he has thanked the ovation received by the Mönchengladbach public once the Borussia-Bayern match corresponding to the 34th day of the Bundesliga concluded.
Heynckes' last league game as coach of the Munich team ended with 3-4 after his men traced a 1-3 against. Javi martinez (7′), Ribéry (19′ y 53′) and Robben (59′) were the authors of the many visitors, what you can see in the attached video. Through the M'gladbach they saw the Stranzl gate (4′), Hanke (5′) y Nordveit (10′).
You can now complete a 'triple’ history and legacy to Pep Guardiola, his successor on the bench from next 1 July, a Bundesliga champion Bayern, of Champions and the German Cup; for this the Bavarian team will have to beat Dortmund at Wembley the next day 25 and Stuttgart in Berlin on 1 June.
“It has been a very emotional moment to be able to say goodbye here in Mönchengladbach”, where was he born ago 68 years and “where I started my career as a player and as a coach. It would have been even more emotional if the meeting had been in the (ancient) Bökelberg and not in the (actual) Borussia Park”, has highlighted Heynckes, that at first he will now also end his career as a coach.
“I want to thank the local public for their applause and this wonderful goodbye that they have paid me”, added and could not continue. Jupp Heynckes cried and cried.
after a few moments, after also being applauded by the journalists present in the press room and drying his tears, finished the sentence: “This shows that here is my homeland”, he stressed.
Madrid has sounded out Jupp's availability, which has also sounded for Athletic, Monaco and Russian football.
A coveted technician abroad
Heynckes himself has confirmed in the weekly ‘Kicker’ what “es verdad, I have offers from foreign teams”, although Bayern insists that their intention is to withdraw.
After the Champions League final he could confirm it or perhaps announce a possible new destination away from the Bundesliga.
