Heynckes: "This is probably my last opportunity"
Sport
Bayern Munich boss Jupp Heynckes has claimed that the Champions League final in London likely represents his last chance to secure European silverware.
"Last Saturday was my last Bundesliga match as a coach and tomorrow will probably be my last opportunity to hold one of these trophies in my hands", Heynckes told reporters at Wembley.
The Champions League final represents the 67-year-old's Bayern swansong, with Pep Guardiola waiting in the wings to replace him this summer. Heynckes previously lifted the Champions League with Real Madrid in 1998, his first and only campaign at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Having strung together a coaching career spanning over two decades and taking him all over Europe, the former Athletic de Bilbao, Bayer Leverkusen and Benfica coach stated that Saturday night's clash at Wembley is "just another match" for him.
"For my team and, in particular, the older players, [lifting the trophy] would be the crowning glory of their careers, especially because it's against another German team. I'm a bit more laid-back, because I've it experienced it before with Real Madrid", observed the veteran tactician.
