The German giants have confirmed they will be parting ways with the 50-year-old come the end of the season.
Tuchel, who was appointed as head of the Bavarians close to a year ago, managed to usurp Borussia Dortmund to Bundesliga title on the final day of last season, but this season has struggled to keep up with pace-setters Bayer Leverkusen.
Die Roten are currently eight points behind the league leaders, and with Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso believed to be their top candidate for the hot seat, the six-time European champions have decided that the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League-winning boss will leave the Allianz Arena at the end of this season.
An official statement from the club reads: "FC Bayern Munich and head coach Thomas Tuchel have jointly decided to end the collaboration, which was originally scheduled to expire on June 30, 2025, on June 30, 2024. This is the result of an amicable conversation between CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and Thomas Tuchel.
Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: "In an open, good conversation we came to the decision to mutually end our collaboration in the summer. 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. I also explicitly hold the team responsible. Especially in the Champions League, we are convinced that after the 0-1 defeat in the first leg at Lazio Rome, we will advance to the quarter-finals in the second leg in our fully occupied Allianz Arena with our fans behind us."

Thomas Tuchel has also spoken, saying: "We have agreed that we will end our collaboration after this season. Until then, I and my coaching team will of course continue to do everything we can to ensure maximum success."
