Bayern chief executive Oliver Kahn said: \u201cWhen we signed Julian Nagelsmann in the summer of 2021, we were convinced we would work with him on a long-term basis \u2013 and that was the goal of all of us right up to the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now we have come to the conclusion that the quality in our squad \u2013 despite the Bundesliga title last year \u2013 has come to the fore less and less often.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the World Cup we have played less successfully and less attractively. The big fluctuations in performance have cast doubt on our goals for this season, but also our goals for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why we have acted now. Personally and on behalf of Bayern, I would like to thank Julian and his coaching team, and wish everyone the best of luck for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nagelsmann, 35, joined Bayern after a spell at RB Leipzig and won the league by eight points in his first season in charge, in addition to the German Supercup in 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n

On Sunday his side were beaten 2-1 by Bayer Leverkusen, leaving them with just five wins from their past 10 league games.<\/p>\n

Bayern confirmed assistant coaches Dino Toppmoller, Benjamin Gluck and Xaver Zembrod have also left the club.<\/p>\n

Tuchel won the Champions League with Chelsea in May 2021 \u2013 one of three trophies won in 20 months at Stamford Bridge \u2013 and was voted World Coach of the Year following that campaign.<\/p>\n

But the German, also formerly of Borussia Dortmund and Paris St-Germain, was sacked on new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly\u2019s 100th day in charge in September, following a 1-0 defeat by Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Bayern\u2019s next game is against league leaders Dortmund on Saturday, 1 April.<\/p>\n
