Ex-Manchester United boss tipped to take over from struggling Tuchel at Bayern

Thomas Tuchel's time at Bayern Munich looks to be coming to a close, and the club have started the search for viable alternatives.

The Bundesliga reining champions have had a turbulent season, and the 3-2 defeat to Bochum at the weekend was their third straight loss in a week.

They now find themselves 8 points behind unbeaten league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Now, according to Sky Germany, the Bavarians are considering former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, as well as Ex-Man United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The club's long-term preference would be Xabi Alonso, but there is a belief the Spaniard could be tempted by the chance to replace the departing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
