Mauricio Pochettino's next job in football will not be with Bavarian giants Bayern Munich.

Currently under the guidance of interim manager Hansi Flick, Bayern have been frequently linked with the Argentine gaffer since his sacking at Tottenham, though Bild's Christian Falk has poured cold water on those rumors. The Bayern insider reports that Pochettino isn't one of the candidates for the vaunted position.

Flick, who took over for Niko Kovac in early November in a caretaker role, was told that he'd remain in charge at the Allianz Arena "until at least Christmas." He led Bayern to four wins on the trot by a 16-0 combined scoreline before Saturday's home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern is understood to value a German-speaking manager, thus ruling Pochettino out for the job.

Pochettino has also been linked to Manchester United and Arsenal. The latter would present a particularly intriguing appointment following the 47-year-old's celebrated spell in charge of north London rivals Tottenham.
