Antonio Conte is reportedly keen to become Bayern Munich’s next manager as pressure mounts on Thomas Tuchel.
The German giants have lost their last three games as their season threatens to unravel. They are currently eight points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and are 1-0 down heading into the second leg of their Champions League match against Lazio.
Tuchel appears to be holding his job by a thread, and Bayern are said to be keeping an eye on former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, as well as Xabi Alonso and Hansi Flick, as they consider a change in the dugout.
But Conte is also interested in replacing Tuchel and has identified Bayern as the ‘dream club’ for his next move, the newspaper said. Image.

He won the Premier League with Chelsea in 2016/17 and also has four titles from his time in Italy with Juventus and Inter Milan.
The 54-year-old now wants to win the Bundesliga and is looking forward to a return to the sidelines to take charge of Bayern.
Bild reporter Christian Falk has also stated that Bayern are keeping an eye on Flick, who led them to a historic Treble in 2020, while Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeness a surprising candidate on their list of potential replacements for Tuchel.
Hoeness has guided Stuttgart to third place in the Bundesliga and is just four points behind Bayern, but any approach for him would not happen until the summer at the earliest.

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has given Tuchel his support for the time being, but the ex-Chelsea boss is running out of time to turn things around.
His Bayern side were dismantled in the league by Leverkusen earlier this month and collapsed to a shock 3-2 defeat at VfL Bochum on Sunday.
Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich was reportedly involved in a heated confrontation with Tuchel’s assistant Zsolt Low after the match, with players having to intervene to separate the pair, while Tuchel also recently admitted that star striker Harry Kane is ‘not happy’ with the service he receives from his teammates.
The German giants are back in action this weekend when they host fifth-placed RB Leipzig, and a fourth straight defeat could leave Bayern with no choice but to make a change.
