Bayern Munich director Hasan Salihamidzic says there has been no contact with Arsene Wenger about replacing Niko Kovac.

The Croatian is under fire with Bayern underperforming in Bundesliga, but Salihamidzic has moved swiftly to rule out a move for Wenger.

He said: "There was 100 per cent no contact with Arsene Wenger. We will travel to Bremen with Niko Kovac as our manager and we will win.

"We have often failed to hold such a focused performance for the whole 90 minutes. But we have done really well [against Benfica] and we can now build on that.

"The way the team took responsibility made me happy, and also how Bayern Munich played. But I am also happy for the coach and the club."
