Former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal could bounce back into management in the Bundesliga.
Sport 1 says Van Gaal is in the frame for the manager's job at Werder Bremen.
The Dutchman is among the names Werder chief Frank Baumann has under consideration after the sacking of Viktor Skripnik.
Asked about an approach to Van Gaal, Baumann refused to confirm nor deny the reports.
Van Gaal is a free agent after his dismissal by Manchester United and interviewed for the Belgium job over the summer.
