The manager led Bayern to the Bundesliga title last season, but the club is now eight points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen after two consecutive league defeats. Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said that both parties agreed to “mutually end our collaboration” following “an open, good conversation”.
“Our goal is to carry out a sporting realignment with a new coach for the 2024-25 season. Until then, every individual in the club is expressly challenged to achieve the maximum possible in the Champions League and the Bundesliga”, said Dreesen.
Tuchel also talked about the situation and said: “We will leave after this season. Until then, my coaching team and I will continue to do everything we can to ensure maximum success”.
