Bayern Munich are set to sack head coach Julian Nagelsmann on Friday.
In a surprise move, the German champions will dismiss the 35 year-old, despite him leading them into the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They also sit second in the Bundesliga, having been knocked off top spot at the weekend following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. Borussia Dortmund currently sit top, having thrashed Köln 6-1 on Saturday.
Bayern host Dortmund immediately after the international break in Der Klassiker. But Nagelsmann is set to be told his services at the Allianz Arena are no longer required by the club’s top brass. Instead, former Dortmund and Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will take his place in the Bavarian hot seat.
