FRANKFURT, Germany - Bayern Munich has confirmed that coach Louis van Gaal will leave the Bundesliga club at the end of the season, one year before his contract was due to expire.

Van Gaal won the German double in his first season at Bayern and reached the Champions League final, but the club has slumped to fifth in the Bundesliga and has been eliminated from the German Cup.

Bayern said the 59-year-old Dutchman was leaving by mutual agreement.
