Tuchel to leave Bayern Munich at the end of this season

Bayern Munich have confirmed Thomas Tuchel will leave his role as manager at the end of the current season.

The Bundesliga champions lost 3-2 at Bochum, increading the pressure on Tuchel.

Bayern are now eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen on the table.

It was also their third defeat in a row after they were beaten 1-0 at Lazio in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie last week.

Facing a first trophyless season in 12 years, Bayern’s primary plan was to reach the end of the campaign with Tuchel and assess the situation, but they announced on Wednesday that the former Chelsea boss will leave the club.

“We have agreed that we will end our working relationship at the end of this season,” said Tuchel.

“Until then, I will of course continue to do everything I can with my coaching staff to achieve maximum success.”
