Bayern Munich have made contact with Mauricio Pochettino over taking charge of the Bundesliga club, according to the club’s former star Dietmar Hamann.
Jupp Heynckes came out of retirement to lead Bayern following Carlo Ancelotti’s sacking in October, and he has since guided the Bavarians to first-place in the Bundesliga - a remarkable 20 points clear of second-placed Schalke - and the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The 72-year-old is not expected to continue in the role past the end of this season, and Bayern’s hunt for a new manager will get underway in the summer.
