Bayern Munich Keep Treating Jupp Heynckes Like a Second-Rate Manager
While this isn’t quite the situation going on at Palermo, where a manager can be fired and rehired three times in less than six months, but it’s weird to see the relationship between Jupp Heynckes, on his third tenure with Bayern Munich, being treated like an interim manager and nothing more.

Borussia Dortmund – Giving Up on the Derby & the Bundesliga
