Bayern Munich should make a summer approach to appoint Zinedine Zidane as their new manager according to the club's legendary former goalkeeper Oliver Kahn.
Current boss Jupp Heynckes will leave the club at the end of the season having been in charge since October on an interim basis.
The 72-year-old is set to leave the club in good shape too with the German giants set to win the Bundesliga for the sixth season in a row and looking a strong in Europe too with a place in the Champions League semi-finals well within their grasp.
With this is mind, Kahn believes that Zidane would be the ideal candidate to take over at the Allianz Arena.
'Zinedine Zidane is undoubtedly worth considering, I think he's sensational,' Kahn told German TV channel ZDF during Madrid's 3-0 win at Juventus.
'He has won everything with Real Madrid and can win his third Champions League title. He's a coach who perfectly fits Bayern Munich's requirement profile.
'He is French and can speak Spanish, so he could learn German, the question is more what can he do extremely well?
'He can manage a star-studded squad, he was an absolute world star himself, and while many former top players don't go on to become great coaches, he has.'
Despite battling well on the European front, Zidane's future at the Bernabeu is far from certain as a result of a poor campaign on the domestic front.
The Spanish champions look set to surrender their title to Barcelona, who they are 13 points behind, as they sit third behind local rivals Atletico Madrid.
