Next Bayern Munich Manager Odds: Who could replace Thomas Tuchel this summer?
Three successive defeats, a 12th straight Bundesliga title in doubt, Champions League progress up in the air, and reports of a player revolt have all combined to leave Thomas Tuchel under an avalanche of pressure at Bayern Munich.
The German remains in the hot-seat for now, but Bayern Munich have confirmed that they part ways at the end of the current campaign.
Alongside Barcelona and Liverpool, that's a third huge European job that will now be available in the summer.

Manager of the moment Xabi Alonso tops the betting to replace Tuchel at 3/1.
Alonso is currently in pole position to win the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen who remarkably remain unbeaten in all competitions this season.
His exploits have unsurprisingly caught the eye of his former club Liverpool, with the Spaniard the red-hot favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager.
There are currently several high-profile managers bundled in the Job Centre; notably Zinedine Zidane, Antonio Conte, Jose Mourinho, and Hansi Flick.
Hansi Flick, a huge price at 25/1, enjoyed a trophy-drenched tenure at the helm of Bayern Munich, during which he won a staggering seven trophies in 18 months, including the treble.
Flick, who won 81% of his 86 matches and lost just seven times, would go on to manage the national team but has been on the lookout for a new job since September, meaning he could be an easily accessible option should Bayern wish to bring him back for a second spell.
Jose Mourinho, who needs absolutely no introduction, is next in the running at 4/1 alongside Jurgen Klopp who will leave Liverpool in the summer. Yet, while Bayern job could well tempt him sometime in the future, he's already stated that he needs a deserved break from the managerial arena, which makes an appointment pretty unlikely.
Up next at 6/1 is former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane, who won 11 trophies across two spells at the Bernabeu. He's proven to be a master at man-management who can tune into the specific requirements of elite players.
Zidane's next move has long been a topic of debate. It's approaching three years since the Frenchman graced the touchline so any package put forward would have to be spot-on for the three-time Champions League-winning manager to consider a return.
Antonio Conte (8/1) and Julen Lopetegui (16/1) are other out-of-work options, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (20/1) has been linked due to his connection with Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund, while Graham Potter is a 33/1 outsider.
Given that Bayern have given themselves plenty of time to assess their managerial options for the summer, the club could look to target high-performing employed managers such as their former coach Sebastian Hoeness (10/1 - who is performing wonders at Stuttgart) Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi (14/1), Aston Villa's Unai Emery (14/1), and Sporting CP's Ruben Amorim (16/1).
