Livescores
Following Carlo Ancelotti's departure, the 72-year-old will lead the German champions, in his third spell, until the end of the current season. He will begin duties from Monday 9 October.
Heynckes assistants will be Peter Hermann and Hermann Gerland. Hermann stepped down from Bundesliga 2 leaders Fortuna Dusseldorf, while Gerland was in Bayern's youth setup.
Club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told the side's official website, "There’s a great mutual trust between Jupp Heynckes and FC Bayern. That showed itself again in the conversations that Uli Hoeneb, Hasan Salihamidzic and I have had with him.
"We’re very thankful to Jupp that he’s accepted the offer of head coach. He’s the ideal coach for FC Bayern at this moment in time."
Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic added, "Jupp Heynckes is a master of man management and tactics. We're convinced he’s exactly the right man to get the team back on track and achieve our aims."
Meanwhile, Heynckes said of his return to the Allianz Arena, "I wouldn't have returned to any other club in the world, but FC Bayern Munchen are very close to my heart.
"My coaching staff and I will now do everything to bring back successful football for the fans. I'm very much looking forward to this challenge."
