Thomas Tuchel has confirmed he will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season following reports he was open to staying as manager.
Bayern announced in February that Tuchel was going to leave the club at the end of the campaign. But there were suggestions recently that both the club and manager were looking into the possibility of him potentially staying on, following an outpouring of support for the idea from both fans and players.

Tuchel confirmed on Friday that Saturday’s game away at Hoffenheim would be his final match in charge of Bayern.
“This is my last press conference on Säbener Strasse [Bayern’s training centre],” Tuchel said. “The agreement from February remains. There were further discussions, but we have not found an agreement on further cooperation. That’s why the agreement remains.”
