Former Germany striker Miroslav Klose is being linked with a return to his former club S.S. Lazio.

Currently the coach of German 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Nürnberg, Klose has emerged as a candidate to replace Maurizio Sarri at Lazio should he leave the club as expected, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Klose only extended his contract with Nürnberg until 2028 back in February, but the report claims it includes a release clause.

The 47-year-old is just one of several options being considered, though, with former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmöller also said to be in the mix.

Klose scored 63 goals in 171 appearances for Lazio between 2011 and 2016, before hanging up his boots.
