Bayern Munich have reportedly identified Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino as a potential replacement for Niko Kovac following a mixed start to the season for the German champions.
Kovac, who took over at the Allianz Arena ahead of last season, finds himself under pressure as Bayern sit second in the Bundesliga table behind Borussia Monchengladbach.
Pochettino, meanwhile, could also lose his job in the near future following a poor run of results that has left Spurs 11th in the Premier League table.
According to Sport1, Bayern are keeping a close eye on the Argentine's situation and could move to install him as manager should results fail to improve under Kovac.
Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has Pochettino's phone number and is said to be a big fan of the 47-year-old.
However, reports have suggested that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy remains fully behind Pochettino despite the club's poor start to the 2019-20 campaign.
