In an announcemant on the club website, Bayern Munich director Franz Beckenbauer has told fans that Manager Louis Van Gaal has been removed as his position.
Beckenbauer said that it was with a heavy heart that he removed Van Gaal as he had led Bayern in a direction he approved off. He said the reason for Van Gaal's departure is something that has happened behind the scenes and will remain a club matter. As yet they have not revealed what the problem actualy was, but rumours are stating that Beckenbauer wanted to look into moving in an Arsenal direction by bringing in youth, Van Gaal on the other hand did not and asked for £45million to invest into his squad.
Nether the less, the outcome is the departure of a great manager.
Bayern are now looking into employing their new manager as soon as possible, and are also rumoured to be looking into an 'Arsene Wenger' situation.
Beckenbauer stated that the appointment of a rookie manager had a very large appeal to himself and the fellow board members. He also commented that they had a shortlist, but wouldn't be revealing the names on it to the public.
Many players have spoke out of the departure of the manager, Franck Ribery being one of these. Ribery commented by saying that Van Gaal had been a great manager, and now that he had left, he felt his future was elsewhere. With Inter, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City looking for his signature, surely now the move onwards in Europe will get rolling soon.
More news on this when it comes in, but for fans, both reports wil be heavily anticipated. All will be revealed on the club website.

Foot Note : This is my final story for FM2010. My next (if I create one) will be when I purchase FM2011. I hope you follow.
P.S - The possible sale of Ribery is based loosely on my developed dislike of him via Carine's 'Being Bastian' story. I would like to state though that this is not a story to teal his readers. I hope people will follow both.
Gracias.
