Bayern Munich have made contact with former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane as they continue their search for a manager to replace Thomas Tuchel.<\/p>\n

After a disappointing Bundesliga campaign, Bayern and Tuchel have agreed to part ways at the end of the season, although they are still battling to end the season on a high in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Bayer Leverkusen look certain to win the Bundesliga, but Bayern are still alive in Europe, drawing 2-2 with Arsenal in north London in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.<\/p>\n

However, even if Tuchel manages to win Europe\u2019s biggest prize, he will be leaving the club and the German giants are hunting down his successor.<\/p>\n

Spanish publication Marca report that Bayern have made contact with Zidane\u2019s agent, registering their interest in the legendary Frenchman.<\/p>\n

Bayern were also looking to gauge the interest of Zidane in taking on the role, with the 51-year-old out of work for three years since leaving Real Madrid for a second time.<\/p>\n

Since then he has been approached by the likes of Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain but opted not to return to management, so there is no guarantee that he would accept a move to Germany.<\/p>\n

Zidane has also been linked with the Manchester United job for years but reportedly has little interest in a move to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

In a market which is lacking elite level managers, Bayern have also been linked with two of their former bosses in Hansi Flick and Julian Naglesmann.<\/p>\n

Zidane may have been out of work for three years but he remains an appealing candidate after winning three Champions Leagues and two La Liga titles as Real Madrid boss.<\/p>\n

Bayern will be focussed on the action on the field on Wednesday when they host Arsenal in the huge second leg of their Champions League quarter-final in Bavaria.<\/p>\n
