Jupp Heynckes has revealed he rejected approaches from both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea after winning the treble with Bayern Munich in 2013.
Bayern announced in January 2013 that former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola would succeed Heynckes at the end of the season.
However, before handing over the reins to the Catalan, Heynckes made a historic farewell -- winning the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal before completing the treble with a 2-1 win in the Champions League final against Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.
And the 72-year-old German revealed he turned down advances from both Chelsea's and PSG's owners at the time to concentrate on his retirement.
Chelsea had prevailed against Heynckes' Bayern in a penalty shootout to win the Champions League in Munich the previous season, but were apparently keen to lure Heynckes to England.
"[Chelsea owner] Roman Abramovich wanted to visit my home. I said -- no thanks. I am done," Heynckes told FAZ on Sunday.
Explaining the PSG approach, two years after the club had been taken over by Oryx Qatar Sports Investments (QSi) and new club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, he added: "PSG's boss wanted to bring his whole entourage, including his chefs, to cook at my farmhouse. I didn't want that either."
After a four-year break Heynckes returned to Bayern to take charge in October 2017, following the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti -- the day after a heavy Champions League defeat against PSG.
In his fourth term, Heynckes has led the Bavarians to 17 wins in 18 games in all competitions -- including a DFB Pokal penalty shootout success against Leipzig.
