Jupp Heynckes says that he will not coach another Bundesliga side and is reluctant to move abroad at the age of 68.

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has hinted that he could retire from management at the end of the season.

The 68-year-old will step down from his current role as the Bavarian club's boss and will be succeeded by Pep Guardiola.

"Saturday's match in Monchengladbach will be my last Bundesliga game as coach," Goal.com quotes him as telling reporters. "When you've worked at the highest level at Bayern for the past two years and have been very successful, there are no interesting alternatives in the Bundesliga.

"And had I been 10 to 15 years younger, I would have considered a move abroad. I'm not getting any younger, though. Bayern wanted to start a new era and you cannot do that with a 68-year-old in charge."

The 68-year-old is currently in his third spell as Bayern coach.
