After the initial disappointment with second place in the election for world coach of the year, Hans-Dieter Flick from FC Bayern is fully focused on the last game of the year.
“We take it sporty.
Kloppo deserved the title with his coaching team, just as my coaching team would have deserved it, ”said Flick the day before the Bundesliga game on Saturday at leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
“Of course you were a bit disappointed - because if you're in the top three, you want to win too.
But it goes on for us, we have new goals that we want to achieve. "
Jürgen Klopp, who coached Liverpool FC for the first English championship in 30 years, was honored as world coach of the year.
Both had the same number of votes, but Klopp prevailed because more national coaches and thus colleagues had voted for him.
"For me, Hansi deserves it"

"Of course we were also a bit disappointed because we assumed that if a coach got everything and achieved everything, we are of the opinion that he absolutely deserved it," said Bayern captain Manuel Neuer.
Neuer was named world goalkeeper and Robert Lewandowski was named world footballer.
You have the best coach, said Lewandowski.
“For me, Hansi deserves to win this trophy.
We know for ourselves that he is the best. "
Flick was unable to say whether the election result per Klopp might be related to a greater global awareness of the Liverpool coach.
It's just a shame for his coaching team, said the 55-year-old.
"But a championship, a cup win, a Champions League win with a team and all that surrounds it counts so much more because they are insane emotions."
