According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is Bayern Munich's number one choice to become their new head coach.

The German champions sacked Niko Kovac following the 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt on November 2, with Hansi Flick placed at the helm on an interim basis.

Flick has actually won both of his matches in charge of the Bundesliga giants, including a 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at the weekend.

Arsene Wenger has been linked with the position, but according to The Athletic, Pochettino is viewed as the club's preferred candidate.

As expected, a number of Tottenham fans have been on social media reacting to the latest developments surrounding their head coach.
