Bayern Munich have parted ways with club CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic only minutes after they snatched their 11th straight Bundesliga title on the last matchday on Saturday, the club said.Kahn, who took over the position in 2021 succeeding Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, will be replaced by Jan-Christian Dreesen with immediate effect, the club said in a statement.

Bayern Munich won an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title as they beat Cologne to overtake Borussia Dortmund on a thrilling final day.Dortmund would have won their first title since 2011-12 had they beaten Mainz, but a 2-2 draw opened the door for Bayern.And they took advantage thank to Jamal Musiala's 89th-minute winner.

Bayern Munich went from a professional shutout win to another nervy finish in a flash against Werder Bremen.Niklas Schmidt's outrageous goal wasn't enough to set off a comeback, however, and the Bavarians maintain their slim lead over Borussia Dortmund - for now.It's do or die time for both teams as the Bundesliga race draws to a close.

The season is almost over (although it may be for Bayern Munich) and some players have been consistent enough to make it into the FIFA 23 Team of the Season nominees.The Bundesliga crew has just been revealed, let's see who they are.Goalkeepers
Gregor Kobel ( Borussia Dortmund, Switzerland); Kevin Trapp (Eintracht Frankfurt, Germany); Mark Flekken (SC Freiburg, the Netherlands); Frederik Ronnow (Union Berlin, Denmark); Koen Casteels (VfL Wolfsburg, Belgium).

Verdict: Both teams to score in the second-half Best Odds: 7/5 Bookmaker: Unibet In what looks set to be a season-defining showdown on Saturday evening, Bayern Munich will welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Allianz Arena.Bayern Munich
Starting with the hosts, while Bayern Munich might have punched their Champions League quarter-final ticket on March 3rd thanks to a 3-0 romp against French heavyweights PSG, that was not enough to save Julian Nagelsmann from the chop.

Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala are Bayern Munich's talented youngsters (well Davies is still young at age 22), so it's no surprise that they are considered the club's future.Davies has been linked to Real Madrid and Manchester City while Musiala hasn't been linked to anyone yet.That being said, Bayern want to secure those two players for the foreseeable future.

This may be the penultimate game of the Bundesliga season, but it really feels like a final.Bayern Munich need all three points if they're going keep hold of top spot, but RB Leipzig are fighting for a place in the Champions League next season so they'll be reluctant to just roll over for the reigning champions.

Thomas Tuchel has made it clear that, in addition to a top-class striker, he wants to try to sign a number 6 midfielder for Bayern Munich this summer, even though Joshua Kimmich already deputizes in that role.In theory, a solid defensive midfield signing would give Kimmich a lot more freedom in an attacking, box-to-box sense, but it would further pack the midfield depth chart since there's already Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Jamal Musiala, Konrad Laimer coming in this summer from RB Leipzig, and Ryan Gravenberch unless he moves elsewhere else in the next window.

This could be a really funny week in the Bundesliga, as both title challengers gear up to face each other's arch nemesis.Bayern Munich take on the blue half of the Revierderby at the Allianz Arena in the afternoon kickoff slot, followed by Borussia Dortmund vs the other Borussia at the Westfalenstadion in the evening.

With all the transfer market activity that Bayern Munich have been doing as of late, what does that mean for the current crop of players?Well, Bild (as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia) recently published a sheet that details the contract status of the Rekordmeister 's players and whether they are untouchable or not.

According to a report from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Sadio Mané's time with Bayern Munich could be coming to an end.After arriving from Liverpool FC last summer, Mané could be on his way out the door after just one season:

Sadio Mané remains the top candidate to leave the club this summer.

Thomas Müller has not been in the starting lineup in recent weeks for Bayern Munich, but Thomas Tuchel finally started him against Schalke and it paid off.Müller scored the first of Bayern's six goals in the 21st minute, opening the floodgates in what would end up a 6-0 win for the Bavarians.

Bayern Munich 's front line came back from their hiatus to put paid to Schalke.After dire performances against Hertha Berlin, Werder Bremen and more so, Mainz 05 and Hoffenheim, we can finally say Bayern Munich is back.Here are the observations for today:
Fluidity is the word of the day
Wow.Suddenly, all of a sudden, out of nowhere seemingly, all of Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman and Thomas Müller (the chief connector) knew where to find each other.

Serge Gnarby claimed a double as Bayern Munich kept their grasp on the Bundesliga title race with a 6-0 rout against relegation-threatened Schalke at Allianz Arena.Thomas Tuchel's side claimed a comfortable win to go four points clear at the top on Saturday, although Borussia Dortmund could slice that gap when they host Borussia Monchengladbach later on.

According to a report from Sport1's Kerry Hau, Bayern Munich 's rumored move to put a "For Sale" sign on Serge Gnabry might have been premature.Gnabry has been one of the players whose name has been most bandied about in recent weeks, but the Germany international wants to stay at Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich loanee Malik Tillman has had a phenomenal season at Rangers FC.He got 14 goals in 28 games in a rather up and down season for the 2021 Scottish Premiership champions and even managed to make it into the PFA Team of the Year over in Scotland.All things considered, it's been a phenomenal season for the 20 year old.

According to a report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich is among the clubs that have interested in RB Leipzig attacker Dani Olmo.Real Madrid and FC Barcelona would also like to kick the tires on the skilled Spaniard, who has established himself for both club and country in recent years:

Understand big clubs are well informed on the situation of Dani Olmo - current deal expires in 2024, could be a bargain this summer while Leipzig have offered new deal ✨ Barça appreciate Olmo since long time, different priorities now - Real Madrid and Bayern are tracking him.

Alphonso Davies has not been at his best for Bayern Munich this season; there's no getting around that.He has dealt with some minor injury problems, but that's nothing out of the usual ever since he's joined Bayern from the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS.Last season, he had to recover from having myocarditis that saw him sidelined for a considerable spell, while the season before, he had to recover from a pretty significant ankle ligament injury.

Ryan Gravenberch could be getting a new lease on life in Bayern Munich.The young midfielder has been rumored to want away from the Bavarian giants after just one season, due to interest abroad and a lack of playing time.But with Leon Goretzka's suspension - and his impressive second-half cameo against Hertha Berlin - Gravenberch has a chance to start in the next game and begin to carve out a larger role for himself.

After Robert Lewandowski's departure, Bayern Munich turned to Sadio Mane to help replace some of the goals.But it hasn't quite worked.Jasmine Baba finds out why the Senegalese star has struggled to fit in.It took until the 69th minute of Sunday's match with bottom club Hertha Berlin for the Bundesliga's most prolific team, Bayern Munich, to break the deadlock.

A week is a long time in football.As Bayern slipped to a 3-1 defeat at Mainz, Borussia Dortmund's 4-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt had appeared to mark a shift in the impetus in the title race.Eight days on, Bayern are back on top and in control after a little help from some highly questionable officiating in Bochum on Friday.

It's been an up and down season for Bayern Munich: from losing only three games the whole season, a sweep in the Champions League so far, to Serge Gnabry's ill-fated trip to Paris, and Manuel Neuer and Julian Nagelsmann not being able to see out the season because they went skiing.People were a bit displeased when Gnabry went to France because everyone thought that would affect his performance, if it's not his performance, his market value was affected.

Thomas Tuchel has a big task on his hands as the new head coach of Bayern Munich: hosting Borussia Dortmund in his first game back in the Bundesliga (similar to what Hansi Flick experienced).The 49-year-old ex-Chelsea FC manager will undoubtedly be working hard to make a good first impression, but someone from Dortmund isn't swayed.

Bayern Munich, as you know (or should know!!) have sacked Julian Nagelsmann.He is the third coach in a row to be sacked who did not really trust Thomas Müller in the big games.Also, if you didn't know (you should, but it's okay if you don't), one of the most gifted German footballers of all time, Mesut Özil, retired recently.
