Bayern Munich are reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Zinedine Zidane for him to become their next manager.

Zidane hasn’t managed a club since his second spell in charge of Real Madrid ended in 2021.

However, as reported by Mundo Deportivo, Bayern are ‘one step away’ from appointing Zidane as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel, who is set to leave at the end of the season.

Julian Nagelsmann, who had also been linked with the Bayern job, has signed a new contract to remain in charge of the Germany national team until after the 2026 World Cup. Nagelsmann was previously Bayern boss between 2021 and 2023.

The report states that Zidane has asked for Bayern to bring in reinforcements if he is appointed, especially with regards to defenders.

Bayern is seen as an attractive proposition for Zidane due to the status of the club and the prospect of competing for a host of trophies.

Since his departure from Real, Zidane has been linked with numerous high-profile jobs, including the French national team, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
