Frenchman Arsène Wenger is the frontrunner to become the next Bayern Munich boss, according to Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk.
The Bundesliga club would give the 70-year-old a contract until the end of the season before exploring the possibility of a long-term target such as Erik ten Hag (Ajax) or Thomas Tuchel (PSG).
ESPN report Wenger is expected to meet Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge later this week to discuss the vacant role.
