Bayern Munich have confirmed that its manager, Thomas Tuchel, will leave the club at the end of this current season ( 2023/24) after a disappointing result across all competitions.

The club CEO confirmed in a statement that the decision was taken after both parties reached an agreement.
He said,
"In a good, open discussion, we came to the decision to end our working relationship by mutual agreement in the summer. Our goal is to pursue a new footballing direction with a new head coach for the 2024/25 season. Until then, every individual at the club is expressly called upon to achieve the maximum possible in the Champions League and Bundesliga. I also explicitly hold the team accountable in this regard. In the Champions League in particular, after losing 1-0 in the first leg at Lazio, we are convinced we will reach the quarter-finals at a packed Allianz."
