Two months after taking the job, Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes is yet to sign his contract.

Kicker magazine reports that Heynckes has told members of the Rollwagerl `93 Bayern supporters’ club that he has “still no contract” with Bayern, despite returning for his fourth stint in charge on Oct. 5.

Heynckes said Bayern finance chief Jan-Christian Dreesen had asked him “again and again to come by and sign my contract. But I haven’t found the time for it yet.”

Heynckes, who led Bayern to a Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup treble in his previous stint in 2013, was coaxed out of retirement to take over from the sacked Carlo Ancelotti. The 72-year-old has led Bayern to nine wins in ten games since taking over, and made up a five-point deficit in the Bundesliga to lead by six.

During a previous stint at Bayern in 2009, when he stepped in for the sacked Juergen Klinsmann, Heynckes told Kicker, “With Uli (Hoeness, the Bayern president), I don’t need a contract. We shake hands and he decides how much I earn.”
