Champions League holders Bayern Munich were knocked out this season's competition by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday; coach Hansi Flick tipped to leave the club at the end of the season to take Germany job; Joachim Low is to vacate the head coach's position after the Euros.
Flick has steered Bayern to success after success since taking over from Niko Kovac in November 2019, winning six trophies in 18 months in Bavaria.
Last month it was announced that Joachim Low will step down from his role as Germany head coach following Euro 2020 after asking to end his contract early, and Flick has been one of the names mentioned as a potential successor.
Speaking to Sky in Germany, Matthaus believes that Bayern's Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain will persuade Flick to be the one to take over from Low.
