Bayern Munich head-coach Hansi Flick says he's asked the club to terminate his contract at the end of the season.
The German manager made the decision after his side were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday.
Flick's been linked with the German national team job, which will be vacant when Joachim Low steps down after this summer's European Championships.
"I would like to exit my contract at the end of the season - that is a fact," he told Sky Sports in Germany.
"It was just important to me that the team found out about this from me. I'm absolutely thrilled with them.
"There has been no discussion about the Germany role. Of course, the DFB is an option that every coach has to consider.
"But I have to digest everything now, the last few weeks have not been easy for me either.
"That's why the process of telling the club and team was extremely important today."
