Niko Kovac won the 2018/19 but was sacked midway through his second season for Hansi Flick to complete, and the same man Flick has made it 9!

Bayern Munich also won 5 DFB Pokal, 5 DFB Super Cup, 2 Champions League and 2 Club World Cup during the streak.

Head coach Hansi Flick will step down at the end of the season and current RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann will take over from next season.
