Tottenham face a new battle to keep hold of manager Mauricio Pochettino.

BILD says Bayern Munich have identified Pochettino as a successor for veteran interim coach Jupp Heynckes.

Argentine boss Pochettino is highly rated throughout Europe having lifted Tottenham to a second and third placed finishes in the Premier League and sent them on a Champions League run - having beaten Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern are searching for a new manager in the summer after Heynckes announced he would retire.

And Pochettino has found himself among Bayern's top targets alongside Thomas Tuchel - with Real also circling for the former Southampton chief.
