The Dutchman could leave the club at the end of the season with the Frenchman a potential replacement.
French outlet L’Équipe has reported that a deal that would see Zidane replace Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich at the end of the season is close.
However, a number of hurdles need to be sorted before an appointment is sealed.
The report says that Zidane would prefer to take on the manager role at Manchester United.
It is also claimed that the language barrier between Zidane and the Germans, as well as life in Bavaria, are major obstacles.
Bayern remain “extremely keen” on hiring the former Real Madrid boss with Tuchel confirmed to be leaving in the summer.
Zidane is said to respect Bayern and appreciates that a move to the Allianz Arena could provide him the opportunity to challenge for titles immediately.
This may not be the case at the Red Devils who have been well off the pace of the Premier League’s title challengers this season.

It claims that there is still a language barrier for the manager in England however it is less than in Germany.
Zidane has previously managed Real Madrid over two successful spells.
During his tenure, he led the club to two LaLiga titles and three Champions League triumphs.
