Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has hinted he may not retire at the end of the season amid reported interest from Schalke.

Under Heynckes Bayern are arguably the form team in Europe, having won their past 11 matches in all competitions. They have kept 10 clean sheets during that run, while goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is yet to be beaten at all in 2013. The Germany international revealed following Bayern's arrival in London that he has been left bored by his side's dominance at times. "After some games this season I haven't needed to have a shower," he joked. "Yes I guess sometimes it is boring being in goal. "But it is actually important to keep talking and have communication with my defence. "The key for Bayern Munich is that the whole team defends and we cover the spaces well. "We immediately go to win the ball back. You can see that in the fact we have only conceded seven goals (in the Bundesliga) so far."
