Bayern Munich have emerged as favourites with the bookies to make Zinedine Zidane their new boss.

Zizou, who won three consecutive Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, left the Spanish giants in the summer and has been linked with various jobs since.

However, with Niko Kovac under pressure at the Bundesliga giants, Ladbrokes now make it just a 5/4 shot Zidane's next move is to Germany.

Bayern are fifth in the league and already trail Borussia Dortmund by seven points after picking up just 20 points from a possible 33.

That means they're now more likely than Man United (2/1) to land Zidane, while 7/1 says he takes over from Didier Deschamps at the French national team.

Zidane was heavily linked with the Old Trafford hotseat earlier this season when Jose Mourinho was under increasing pressure following a string of poor results along with a shock Carabao Cup exit to Frank Lampard's Derby County.

However, United's results have improved since with Mourinho's side winning four of their last seven games, including a surprising victory over Juventus away from home in the Champions League and a good result at Stamford Bridge.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "There's a whole host of top European clubs who could do with Zidane's services, but the odds suggest it's Bayern who'll win the race for his signature."
