And the 57-year-old, who has previously expressed a desire to return to club management, is reportedly in Bayern's sights as it seeks a long-term managerial appointment from next season following Carlo Ancelotti's sacking and Jupp Heynckes' arrival on an interim basis.

"On the one hand, Jogi has a contract until 2020. On the other hand, if the Bavarians come looking, I will put a stop to it," the former Germany striker told Sport1 .
