Bayern Munich have confirmed under-fire coach Louis van Gaal will leave the club at the end of the season.

The Dutchman’s position has been under scrutiny following the weekend loss at Hannover which followed on closely from defeats in the Bundesliga to Borussia Dortmund and in the DFB-Pokal semi-finals to Schalke.

And although he will remain in the short-term, Van Gaal’s current deal which is due to end next summer will be dissolved 12 months early with Bayern citing a “difference in opinion about the strategic direction of the club”.
