Niko Kovac pleased after winning Bundesliga crown with Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac has expressed his pleasure after guiding the team to a seventh successive Bundesliga title. The Bavarian giants had a tough contest with Borussia Dortmund through the season and ultimately, it came to the final gameweek where a comfortable victory over Eintracht Frankfurt sealed the league title.

Speaking to Bundesliga.com, Kovac said: "I'd like to thank my team and our fans, we've achieved great things. We were nine points adrift in autumn, so warm congratulations to my lads. I'm completely happy but also exhausted, and I hope we can build on it next week. We knew SGE needed every point, and we also knew Dortmund were in front at half-time. We were glad when we restored the lead, and then, in light of Frankfurt's exhausting season, it was clear we'd get space, and we used it very well."
