Julian Nagelsmann is expected to return to Bayern Munich after this summer’s European Championships.
But his agent insists no deal is done yet - and the current Germany boss has spoken to other clubs about his next job.
Nagelsmann, 36, is one of Europe’s most high-profile coaches and will be available when Euro 2024 ends.
Little over a year after being axed by Bayern - admittedly on the say so of former members of the club’s hierarchy rather than those currently in charge in Bavaria - he is being lined up to return to the Allianz Arena to replace his successor, Thomas Tuchel.
Bayern have already announced Tuchel will depart this summer after a chaotic campaign which has seen their stranglehold on the Bundesliga come to an end, but which could see the ex-Chelsea boss win the Champions League for the second time.
Now Nagelsmann’s agent, Volker Struth, has revealed that an announcement regarding his client’s next gig could come very soon - potentially in the next week.
Struth told the Spielmacher podcast: ‘Everyone is asking me the question 'is Nagelsmann going back to Bayern' or 'what is he doing?' It will be decided soon.
Without saying who the interested parties are, I can only say that it’s not just Bayern Munich [we are speaking to].
Of course we are talking now.”
While that appears to rule out United, it keeps both Barca and Liverpool - both of whom are big admirers of Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim too - in play.
However, a return to Bayern for Nagelsmann still seems the most likely move this summer.
Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen was asked if Nagelsmann might return after the win over Arsenal on Wednesday night and replied simply: “We’ll see.”
