Jose Mourinho has reportedly set his eyes on taking charge of Bundesliga club, Bayern Munich.

The legendary tactician is currently without a job months after he was sacked by Serie A giants, AS Roma.

Mourinho was shown the door at the Rome-based club back in January after a string of unconvincing results.

According to SPORTbible, the former Premier League boss has been strongly linked with a return to the English top flight, with Chelsea and Newcastle United touted as possible destinations.

A move to manage a national team, including in his home country of Portugal, has also been mooted for the ex-Manchester United boss.

Mourinho keen on Bayern job

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.

It is believed that the development leaves Mourinho as one of the frontrunners for the Allianz Arena hot seat.

The ex-Chelsea man recently expressed his desire to return to the dugout, saying:

"In the last two years, I reached two European finals. I want to train, it is a fundamental part of my life; without training there is no happiness."

Mourinho's reaction to Chelsea fans praising him

Sports Brief recently reported on Mourinho's reaction to Chelsea fans chanting his name during their matches.

The Special One remains a favourite among Blues fans and said the chants were a sign he had done his job well.
