MADRID: Outgoing Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes would accept an offer to return to Real Madrid to take over from Jose Mourinho, his agent was quoted as saying.

German Heynckes, who turned 68 this month and speaks fluent Spanish, is leaving Bayern at the end of the season after leading the club to the Champions League and Bundesliga titles.

He guided Real to a Champions League crown in 1998.

Heynckes’ agent, Enrique Reyes, told Spanish radio it was up to Real President Florentino Perez to decide whether to hire his client or continue his pursuit of Paris St Germain’s Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti.

“It is Florentino’s decision,” said Reyes. “If Florentino calls us we would accept the offer. The one who has to accept is not Heynckes it is Florentino.”

‘Lewandowski likely to join Bayern Munich’

Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski is likely to join Bayern Munich, said the Pole’s agent yesterday.

However, Cezary Kucharski said Bayern was yet to agree terms for Dortmund’s top-scorer.

“For us it is clear, but we have not signed anything,” said Kucharski. “The clubs need to reach an agreement.”

Kucharski gave no further details, but said they should emerge within three weeks’ time.
