Allofs' contract runs out this summer and, after eight seasons at the club, he is reportedly set for the role that will be vacated at Bayern after Uli Hoeness moves upstairs at the end of the season.

"I cannot confirm that I will stay in Bremen," Allofs told Germany's Bild newspaper. "Bremen is my first port of call and I will not negotiate with other clubs at the same time, but it is true that there is interest from other clubs.

"The board know of this interest."

Allofs - a former Germany international striker - has managed at the club since 1999 in one of their most successful eras, winning a Bundesliga title in 2004.
