By winning the double, he's almost assuredly earned safety into the next season, but it's safe to say that he'll still likely be a hot topic of discussion in the offseason and into next year. Let's take a look at his performance this year and expectations heading into next season.

Compared to the start of the season, would you say you're currently more, less, or just as confident in Niko Kovac's management going into the next season?
*
More confident

No change/just as confident now as I was then
What do you feel has been Niko Kovac's biggest strength or biggest success this season?
*
Tactics overall - ideas, implementation, execution, etc.
Man-management - keeping the squad happy, managing big egos
Player development - maximizing players' potential and helping them realize their best performance
Team chemistry/cohesion - Improving the manner in which a group of individual players are able to play as a 'team'. Producing an on-pitch product that's greater than the sum of its parts.
Game preparation - attacking every match with a plan that puts his team in the best position to win
In-game management - the ability to roll with the punches; making changes mid-match that put his team in an advantageous position. The ability to properly implement a "Plan B" (or C, or D, etc)
Ability to connect with fans - win the support of the fans, rally the supporters behind a common goal
Ability to deal with the media - able to handle the pressure and rigours of managing a club like Bayern Munich. Does not see performances suffer as a result of criticism or media pressure.
Ability to 'fit' with the club - alignment with the goals, objectives, and beliefs of the club as a whole. Some may call this (jokingly or otherwise) a "Mia San Mia mentality".
Luck - Fairly self-explanatory. Sometimes you need a bit of luck on your side to get by. Happens to the best of managers!

Absolutely untouchable
Always a popular topic of discussion: let's look at transfers in and out and what the squad might look like next season.
Perhaps our club's most-discussed player this season has been James Rodriguez. With just a few weeks left to decide, do you believe we will sign James permanently or send him back to Madrid?
*
(Note that this isn't a question of preference - it's what you think the club will do, not what you *want* the club to do.)
Yes, we will trigger our ~40m buy-option and sign James Rodriguez permanently
No, we will not trigger our ~40m buy-option and will allow James Rodriguez to return to Real Madrid.
Yes, we will trigger our ~40m buy-option but will in turn sell James to another club for a profit
Lewandowski has often been the topic of speculation regarding a move away.
*
Currently, he's under contract until 2021. Madrid's always been seemingly the most popular option and they're set for a big-spending summer, but recent reports also indicate that Bayern are hoping to extend Lewandowski's contract further until 2024. What do you believe is the most likely outcome regarding Lewandowski?
We'll extend his contract until 2024 and he'll see out most the remainder of his professional career as a Bayern player.
We'll give Lewandowski a one-year extension and he'll leave in 2022.
We won't extend Lewandowski's contract but will not sell him either. He leaves in 2021.
We'll sell Lewandowski to Real Madrid this summer.
We'll sell Lewandowski to another club this summer.
After seeking a move away last summer but ultimately not finding one, Jerome Boateng looks set to leave again this summer, especially after Uli Hoeness' recent comments. Does Jerome stay or go?
*
He stays
He's sold
Renato Sanches has been unhappy this season with his playing time. Do you think he'll get another chance in Munich next season, or has his time here come to an end?
*
Sanches will be sold
Sanches will be loaned out
Sanches will stay in Munich for next season
Leroy Sane has been a big topic of discussion over the last week or so. Public statements from Bayern's brass suggest that a deal for the player is a very real possibility. Do you think it'll get done?
*
Yes, we'll sign Sane.
No, ultimately Manchester City will demand more than we are willing to pay.
No, Sane and his camp are just using Bayern to leverage a better deal with City.
Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi was a hot topic of discussion regarding a winter transfer but Bayern and Chelsea were unwilling to hammer out a deal. With a serious ankle injury, it's unclear as to what the future holds with CHO. What do you believe will happen?
*
We'll sign Hudson-Odoi this summer.
We'll not sign Hudson-Odoi this summer but instead will opt to sign him on a free transfer in 2020.
Hudson-Odoi will extend his contract with Chelsea and ultimately not end up at Bayern
Hudson-Odoi will be bought by another club and ultimately not end up at Bayern.
Timo Werner's been rumored to be moving to Bayern for what seems like forever now. Do you think this summer he makes the move to Bayern?
*
Yes, and I'm for it!
Yes, he'll move to Bayern, but I'm not a huge fan of the transfer.
No, he won't move to Bayern, he'll extend with Leipzig.
No, he won't move to Bayern this summer, but he'll end up going elsewhere.
Kai Havertz is one of the hottest names in German football at the moment and he's another one who's been linked with a Bayern move for some time now. Is this the year his transfer happens?
*
Yes, Kai Havertz will move to Bayern this summer.
No, Kai Havertz won't move to Bayern this summer, but he will next summer.
No, Havertz won't move to Bayern this summer, and Leverkusen will elect to sell him elsewhere rather than to Bayern.
Despite spending over 100m between Pavard and Hernandez, Bayern continue to be linked with a transfer for Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt. Does it happen??
*
Yes, Bayern will bring de Ligt to Munich.
No, de Ligt will stay at Ajax
No, de Ligt will ultimately move elsewhere.
The following is a list of other rumored targets, albeit ones with less speculation/links than the aforementioned. Select which players you think will end up moving to Bayern this summer:
Rodrigo Hernandez ("Rodri") - CM/DM, Atletico Madrid
Ante Rebic - SS/CF/LW, Eintracht Frankfurt
