THOMAS TUCHEL will follow Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic out of Bayern Munich, according to Dietmar Hamann.
On Saturday, despite winning the Bundesliga in the most dramatic fashion on the final day, the Bavarians sacked CEO Kahn and sporting director Salihamidzic.

On the pitch, while the players were celebrating, behind the scenes it appeared they were in turmoil.
Now, reports in Germany claim that Tuchel could leave his post on Monday.
And that has been echoed by the thoughts of Hamann, who believes it could be as soon as Monday that he walks away.
Hamann said on German TV: “When you treat people like this, you have to ask yourself: do you want to work for this club? I don’t think you can rule out Tuchel leaving soon too. But he’ll leave of his own accord.”
Fellow pundit Erik Meijer, an ex-Liverpool striker, agrees: “I think he’ll have left the club by Monday”.
Bayern clinched the Bundesliga title with a dramatic last-minute goal by Jamal Musiala to record a 2-1 win against Koln.
Borussia Dortmund led the league by two points going into the final day, but could only draw 2-2 at home to Mainz.
While Bayern’s players celebrated on the pitch after the final whistle, there was upheaval at board level.
Both Kahn and Salihamidzic were dismissed and left their roles with immediate effect.
A statement on the club’s official website said: “Oliver Kahn is no longer CEO of FC Bayern Munchen AG. Hasan Salihamidzic will also be replaced as board member for sport. This was decided by the club’s supervisory board.
“Kahn will be replaced by the current vice-chairman of the board Jan-Christian Dreesen. Salihamidzic’s successor is still to be decided.”
Kahn has since broken his silence – revealing he was forbidden to join in with the team’s celebrations.

He wrote on Twitter: “Unbelievable! A big compliment and congratulations guys! I always told you so! Always give everything to the end and never give up. I am incredibly proud of you and this achievement!
“I would like to celebrate with you, but unfortunately I can’t be with you today because the club has forbidden me.
“I’m looking forward to next season. We will not only be German champions for the 12th time! Let’s celebrate!”
