Jose Mourinho is being actively discussed inside Bayern Munich.

With the board split over Niko Kovac continuing as coach next season, Fussball Transfers reports Mourinho is under consideration as a replacement.

The Portuguese has been out of work since his December sacking by Manchester United and says he's ready to return to management.

Bayern have long been interested in hiring Mourinho and now is the ideal time to move for the Special One.

Much will now depend on how Bayern finish the season and whether Kovac can win over those directors unconvinced that he's the coach to take them forward.
