Hansi Flick confirms he wants to leave Bayern Munich at end of this season

Ever since Joachim Low announced that he was set to step down as the head coach for the German national team after Euro 2020, it has seen a myriad of managers linked to the job. That includes Julian Naglesmann, Jurgen Klopp and several others but reports indicated that Hansi Flick was their top pick. The Bayern Munich boss has been intensely linked with a move especially after reports indicated that Flick and Hasan Salihamidžić, Bayern’s sporting director, had a tift.

But things have finally come to an end with Flick admitting that he has informed the club, during the week, that he would like to leave the club at the end of this season. The German boss refused to comment on his future beyond that but added that he wanted to tell the team himself and is delighted to have been given the chance to manage Bayern Munich.

"I told the team today that I informed the club during the week after the game in Paris that I would like to get out of my contract at the end of the season," Flick told Sky Sports.

"I just wanted to tell the team after the game today because I knew how difficult and important it is to tell the club that. It was important to me that the team find out about that, because that's what it is or others already exist on Flurfunk and we have worked very well together for two years.

"I am absolutely delighted with this team, the attitude, the quality and I am grateful to be able to accompany the team. And also thanks to the club that it gave me the opportunity to train such a team."
