Senior Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane could take over Bayern Munich this summer.
Zidane remains linked with a host of jobs after missing out on his preference to replace Didier Deschamps as France coach.
The former midfielder has been out of work since his departure from Madrid at the end of the 2020/21 season.
However, despite being sidelined for nearly three campaigns, his stock remains high as he considers a return to the dugout.
With no option to take over the Bleus, Zidane is focused on a club role, with an Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport saying he is the favorite to replace him Thomas Tuchel in Munich.
Tuchel is under major pressure in Bavaria as Bayern Munich struggle to keep their Bundesliga and Champions League challenges on track, and could be sacked if they fail.
With Flick on of Barcelona radar , Zidane's next step could play a role in deciding his path, in an extra round to history.
