Bayern Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said the decision comes after recent poor league results since Munich were dumped out of the Champions League in the last-16 by a home defeat to holders Inter Milan on March 15. “It is true we have taken a short-term decision but there has been dissatisfaction for weeks,” said Rummenigge.
The 59-year-old Van Gaal was informed of the decision after his side returned to Munich following Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Nuremberg which saw Bayern drop to fourth in the Bundesliga.
