Eintracht Frankfurt have clinched the DFB-Pokal in Germany
The team beat high-flying Bayern Munich by 3 goals to 1 win in the final.
Veteran boss Heynckes won the treble before departing last time in 2013, but Kovac himself ensured that his Bayern reign will begin with the Bundesliga champions holding just one trophy.
Rebic opened score early in the first half and made it a brace on the counter-attack eight minutes from time, after Robert Lewandowski had drawn Bayern level.
Frankfurt had ridden their luck to reach the closing stages still in a position to win the game and then, having seen VAR rule in their favour for Rebic's second, had referee Felix Zwayer to thank as he opted against awarding a Bayern penalty.
Kovac's men countered and sealed victory through Mijat Gacinovic, but the nature of the defeat will leave an especially bitter taste for Bayern and Heynckes.
Having ended the Bundesliga season with their title celebrations dampened by a home humbling at the hands of Stuttgart, the German champions head into the off-season - and Heynckes into the sunset - on a real downer.
