Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has ignited rumours he is eyeing up a return to the Premier League.

The 50-year-old is set to leave the Allianz Arena this summer after less than 18 months in charge of the German giants.

Having spent time before his move to Bayern Munich with Chelsea, speculation has begun to gather regarding where his next destination could be.

With his Bayern side side to face Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday evening, Tuchel has once again been pressed over his future.

Typically keeping his cards very close to his chest, the former PSG boss didn't, however, rule out a possible return to England.

"I'd rather not answer," Tuchel began when asked about the possibility of a return to the Premier League. 

"But it is no secret that I loved it at Chelsea, I loved it in England, and I loved it in the Premier League for sure.

"I was a very, very special time in England, and I remember it well," Tuchel said to TNT Sports

As well as possible links with Chelsea, Tuchel has also been rumoured to be of interest with INEOS at Manchester United.

Sources in Germany suggest the Bayern boss would be intrigued by any proposal brought forward by the Red Devils and could now swap roles with Erik ten Hag.

The former Ajax head coach is said to be on the shortlist for Bayern Munich should they fail to find a suitable candidate, with Xabi Alonso and Ralf Rangnick having already snubbed their advances thus far.
