However, it has now emerged that the Portuguese tactician is seeking a new challenge in a league he has not managed in the past.

German outlet, BILD, reported the Special One has set his sights on becoming the next Bayern boss.

The serial Bundesliga champions are currently in the market for a new manager, with Thomas Tuchel set to depart the club at the end of the season.

It is believed that former Man United manager, Ralf Rangnick, had been identified as a possible replacement for the outgoing Bavarians boss in the summer.

However, Rangnick has reportedly turned down the role in a big blow to Bayern.
