Hansi Flick has confirmed he wants to step down as Bayern Munich boss at the end of the season.
Flick has been tipped to take over as Germany coach when Joachim Low leaves his post following this year s Euro 2020.
Having previously worked as assistant to Niko Kovac, Flick took sole charge of the Bavarian giants following the Croatian s sacking in November 2019.
He subsequently led them to a Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League treble, earning a new contract that ran until 2023 in the process.
However, after weeks of speculation, Flick has now revealed that he wishes to depart at the end of the season.
I told the team today that I would like to get out of my contract this summer, he told Sky following a 3-2 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday.
