Magath wants third German 'double' from Bayern

Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath demanded a third straight league and cup double from his team yesterday and called for a better run in the Champions League.

"I want a third 'double' and believe we can go further in the Champions League," said Magath, whose sides were knocked out in the quarter-finals and last 16 in the last two seasons.

Despite the domestic success, Magath said his days at Bayern could be numbered if they repeated Tuesday's display in a 3-0 defeat by second division 1860 Munich.

"Two years ago, a match like that would have torn me to bits," Magath told Bild newspaper.

"I want to stay at Bayern for a long time but I know that if we don't get results, the job security is no different than at other clubs."

Goalkeeper Oliver Kahn had another shaky performance against 1860 Munich. Reports of troubles in Kahn's private life have been a focus of tabloid newspapers for the last two weeks.

"These newspaper headlines are really not doing anyone any good," Magath said. "But (sporting director) Uli Hoeness has spoken to Kahn about it. He assured me that everything is under control."
