MUNICH — Bayern Munich assistant coach Aaron Danks said Friday he is eager for the upcoming international break, which comes after a demanding two-week period stepping in as interim head coach.
Danks has overseen first-team operations at the German football powerhouse since Vincent Kompany fell ill, navigating a busy fixture schedule during his temporary stint in charge.
The international break next week will provide a welcome pause for Danks and the club as they await Kompany's return to full duties. Bayern Munich has not disclosed a specific timeline for the head coach's recovery.
Danks' interim period has tested his capabilities as an assistant, with the club continuing its domestic and European commitments during his tenure. The respite will also allow Bayern to regroup ahead of their next competitive fixture.
