      Various reasons have been touted behind his sudden sacking by Bayern, such as a lack of player development and “negative sporting development”.
      Reports suggest the 35-year-old and Wurzenberger’s affair was also among the causes.
      That is because it created distrust in the dressing room at the Allianz Arena as she was working for one of Germany’s biggest publications.
      That is despite the fact the top newspaper axed her from their Bayern coverage last year to avoid a conflict of interest.

      But Bild confirmed the 30-year-old will leave her position and assume a role at BMW on April 1.
      Wurzenberger will become the car manufacturers’ “spokeswoman for the supplier network and sustainability”.
      Nagelsmann found out he was dismissed by Bayern during a skiing trip with his girlfriend.
      He was promptly replaced by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

      Man Utd ‘line up £80m Harry Kane transfer offer after club chiefs give Erik ten Hag green light to swoop’

      The Tottenham striker, 29, is a long-term target for the Red Devils who desperately want a new No9 this summer after axing Cristiano Ronaldo.
      SunSport revealed earlier in March that the Old Trafford club are confident they will land Kane this summer if Tottenham miss out on the top four and the Champions League.
      Spurs have been holding out for £100m – but United hope they will accept an offer below that.
      Now the Mirror report the Red Devils board have sanctioned an £80m opening offer for their priority transfer target.
      It is thought Ten Hag implored his seniors to stump up the cash because he is desperate to secure the striker to transform his side into genuine title contenders and therefore wants to open talks as soon as possible.
      Kane is wanted by plenty of Europe’s top clubs including Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Chelsea – but the report adds his preferred destination is Old Trafford.
      His current £200,000-a-week contract at Tottenham expires in 2024 and he needs to make a decision on his future as his long wait for a trophy goes on.
      Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy understandably wants Kane to stay but knows he must make a shrewd managerial appointment to replace Antonio Conte and convince Kane the North Londoners can fight for silverware.
      Most read in Football
      United made contact with Kane’s camp through a third party and were encouraged by the response.
      Kane said in January that there had “not been much talking” with Spurs over a new contract but he was “sure there will be conversations over the coming months”.
      Champions Manchester City are no longer in the running, having failed to land the striker in 2021 as they were quoted a whopping £150m by Levy.
      Now the Spurs chief is set to have to settle for far less than that – or else he risks losing Kane for nothing next year.
      On the international stage, Kane became England’s all-time record goalscorer with his penalty against Italy last week.
      And he took his tally to 55 against Ukraine on Sunday.

      Tottenham urged to appoint Spain legend as Antonio Conte’s successor as fans would ‘love brand of football’

      His exit came following a startling rant about his players and the club in the wake of their 3-3 draw with Southampton before the international break.
      Conte’s failure to deliver Tottenham their first trophy in 15 years was exacerbated by his conservative approach to games.
      A number of front-foot managers have been touted with the role in the wake of his departure including ex-Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann – recently sacked by Bayern Munich.
      A permanent manager is expected to be appointed in the summer as Cristian Stellini leads the club until the end of the season.

      Luis Enrique is one naming being touted with the vacant Spurs jobCredit: PA
      But Blackburn and Celtic legend Sutton feels former Barcelona and Spain head coach Luis Enrique would be the perfect antidote to the Conte regime.
      Speaking to The Mail, he said: “I think what is really important for Spurs, this was always a criticism of Conte, the brand of football was negative, from the start of the season how many times have you seen Spurs play an exciting brand of football.
      “That’s why Luis Enrique ticks that box. I think Mauricio Pochettino is a really interesting one because I suspect a lot of Spurs fans like the idea of him returning and that love story of him having a second opportunity. 
      “But I suspect there are Spurs fans who may feel slightly peeved at the way that he left and maybe don’t want to go back there.”

      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST SPORTS BETTING APPS IN THE UK
      He then went on to add: “I suspect this appointment will be about brand of football more than anything and what the Spurs fans demand.
      “Then if trophies don’t come Daniel Levy can have the out of saying I am giving you what you want in terms of brand of football, this is the identity we have had since the 70s/80s and want to get back to that. 
      “In terms of brand of football I think they would love Enrique.”
      Enrique won the treble with Barcelona in 2015, leaving the club with two LaLiga titles, three Copa del Reys and the Champions League.
      He was sacked by Spain at the end of last year following a semi-final exit to Italy at the Euros and last-16 loss to Morocco at the World Cup.
      Nagelsmann is the early favourite with the bookies to assume the vacant Spurs role come the end of the season.
      Pochettino and Enrique are other names in the frame, while the other possible contenders Marco Silva, Ange Postecoglou, Ruben Amorim and Roberto De Zerbi are all in jobs elsewhere. More
