Jose Mourinho is in line for a return to football management with Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich, reports Foot Mercato.
The Portuguese boss has been out of work since being relieved of his duties as Manchester United manager in December.
This season is Niko Kovac’s first as Bayern head coach, but with the German side out of the Champions League and only recently returning to top spot in the Bundesliga, he is already under pressure at the Allianz Arena.
Mourinho last week revealed he plans on a return to football management in June, stating: "I would like to be back in the summer in June for a new club and a new pre-season.”
The 56-year-old was linked with a stunning return to Real Madrid earlier this year, but Los Blancos instead elected to re-appoint Zinedine Zidane as Santi Solari’s replacement at the Bernabeu.
Bayern will be out to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga when they take on Freiburg this afternoon ahead of their top of the table clash with Borussia Dortmund next weekend.
The Bavarians come into the trip to Freiburg on a six-match winning run, which has propelled them back to the top of the Bundesliga.
