Since Jose Mourinho's departure from Manchester United, there have been a handful of clubs linked with trying to lure him. First there was talk of a Real Madrid return, then several sources claimed he was a target for Arsenal. Now the latest side to emerge as a contender is Bayern Munich.

The Special One was effective everywhere, and after leaving Manchester United he made no secret of his appetite for managing a club again. Underdogs at the time, Porto and Inter Milan both won the Champions League under Mourinho's stewardship, and the German champions could surely use such a man.

The Portuguese has won trophies and awards in Austria, Scotland, Italy and Spain, but Germany is one of the top countries which Mourinho hasn't conquered yet. By letting Lyon know he had already chosen his next club, he passed up the opportunity to try out the French championship. However, the Bavarian side would be difficult to turn down.
