What many managers failed to do at Bayern Munich, Jupp Heynckes managed to do during his third spell at the club, showing his tactical brilliance in the latter years of his career.

Bayern Munich has enjoyed sustained success over the past couple of decades, but nothing comes close to the unprecedented treble in the 2012/13 season. Die Roten became the first German club to achieve this feat.

Jupp Heynckes was the architect of the outstanding feat, which Rekordmeister achieved during that season. The German manager built a team that had the right amount of aggression, passion, and tactical intelligence to do well across all competitions.

Most importantly, Heynckes ended Bayern’s European drought. He came close to ending the 12-year long drought in 2011/12 season, as Chelsea won the final against Die Roten at Allianz Arena. Heynckes didn’t give up and improved the team further next season to become the most successful European team that season.

The German manager will always have a special place in the heart of Bavarians, and he will go down as one of the best managers in the club’s history. On the occasion of the 75th birthday of Heynckes, it is an ideal time to reflect on the big results he achieved during the treble season.
