Manager Thomas Tuchel will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

The 50-year-old replaced Julian Nagelsmann at the German champions in March 2023 on a deal until June 2025.

But the former Chelsea boss will depart a year earlier than planned as part of "a sporting realignment" at Bayern.

He led Bayern to last season's Bundesliga title after taking over in the spring but they now sit eight points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen after back-to-back league defeats.

One of those was an emphatic 3-0 loss to Leverkusen - and they were also beaten 1-0 by Lazio in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said 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," he added.

"Until then, every individual in the club is expressly challenged to achieve the maximum possible in the Champions League and the Bundesliga.

"I also explicitly hold the team responsible. Especially in the Champions League, we are convinced after the defeat at Lazio we will advance to the quarter-finals with our fans behind us."

Tuchel, who has also managed Paris St-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, 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."

The German, who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021, oversaw a quarter-final defeat at the hands of eventual winners Manchester City in Europe last season.

However, his Bayern side were able to pip Borussia Dortmund on the final day of the Bundesliga campaign - because their rivals drew 2-2 at home to Mainz - to seal an 11th straight German title.

England captain Harry Kane arrived from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth an initial 100m euros (£86m) in the hope of securing domestic and European success.

But a damaging period has seen Bayern slip further behind Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen side in the Bundesliga and they also must overturn a first-leg deficit against Lazio in Europe.

Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Bochum was their third in a row in all competitions.

englishmart:
Tuchel is a terrible coach. You don't need football Knowledge to win silverware for a well-organised team like Bayern.

Wey I think say Harry Kane go finally touch trophy fa.

Moyinoluwa35:
Why are igbos happy with what is going on in Nigeria??
I personally voted for Peter obi, but because Peter obi did not win why are u happy for the downfall of nigeria

They are very unpatriotic. Anything that hurts the country gives them joy. Their sudden love for Nigeria then was because of Peter Obi. They are celebrating as if they have a separate economy. There are poor people in all tribes but they make it seem every igbo is an automatic billionaire that doesn't lack funds

Ok next

For the past one week, this Bayern Munich don show people premium shege . Tickets don cut yanga yanga, soi support the decision jare

Oga if you no meet your wife as a virgin, oga go for DNA test oooooo because boreholes aka non-virgins can't be trusted

Harry Kane at it again!!!

you dont need a prophet to know that. if our "prophets" in Nigeria followed football very well, they would have easily predicted this and called it prophecy.

Bayern's overconfidence in sacking Nagelsman is what has brought them to this point cos Tuchel was never a Bayern type of coach

He's their worst in the last 20years
Jupp, Pep, Hansi, Kovac and Julian are all better

Well, he was never a top coach, just lucky at Bayern

This foolish coach as nothing in his head imagine Bayern losing to Buchum after losing to Leverkusen n Lazio.

The clown need to be flogged n chased away without any compensation.æ

Person wey suppose don leave since last month...! Well, maybe Bayern no need trophies this season.

What kinda club sacks young and futuristic Nagelsmann to employ confused and erratic Tuchel?!!

The only reason they won last season's Bundesliga at the death was because Dortmund chose to be unfortunate.


Now, between them, Liverpool and Madrid, I wonder who will scoop up Xabi Alonso?!! Tough choice for the aspiring coaching maestro.

If he is wise, he will go for Liverpool or Madrid. Preferably Liverpool (less pressure).

Justified

Goo news.

He shud leave ASAP.
Very useless coach.


Bayern that before u will carry over 4.5 comfortably.


I didn't even know they had a new coach untill I had to check why Bayern was struggling to score.

The last 2 coaches they sacked were a hundred times better abeg.


Before tuchel, if Bayern collect red card, just know say at least 2 goals go enter frm Bayern alone.


Imagine man u dragging 4:3 with Bayern!


On a normal day that Match suppose be like 10: 1 or 8:0.



And na the same set of players o. Save for Harry Kane. The idiot even make sadio mane comot the club.
