Munich - German league leaders Bayern Munich expect Ottmar Hitzfeld to leave at the end of the season, with reports linking the coach with the Swiss national team.
'You can assume he won't be staying after June,' Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness was quoted as saying by Bild newspaper Wednesday.
German media reported Wednesday that Hitzfeld had been talking over the festive period with a Swiss team official.
Hitzfeld, 58, is being seen as successor to Jakob Kuhn as Switzerland national team coach after this summer's European Championships.
Hitzfeld said before the Bundesliga winter break he had already made up his mind on whether or not to extend his contract at Bayern, but would not make an announcement until the end of January.
He replaced Felix Magath as Bayern coach on February 1, 2007 for his second spell at the club, but was said to have been upset by criticism from chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in November.
In his first spell in charge from 1998 to 2004 he won four Bundesliga titles, one German Cup title and the Champions League in 2001.
Bayern spent some 70 million euros (100 million dollars) on new players in the summer and top the Bundesliga, although their bright early-season form had faded in the weeks before the winter break.
Meanwhile speculation has already begun on who will lead Bayern from next season.
Dutch former internationals Marco van Basten, the Dutch national team coach, and Frank Rijkaard, under fire at Barcelona, as well as former Germany coach and Bayern player Juergen Klinsmann are seen as candidates.
Liverpool's Spanish coach Rafael Benitez is said to be admired by Bayern, while former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho is also on the market.

Beckenbauer confirms Mourinho interest
Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer would welcome Jose Mourinho as the next coach of his club when Ottmar Hitzfeld leaves in the summer.
The former Chelsea and Porto boss is one of the leading candidates to assume control of the Bavarians, although the fact he does not speak German could rule him out of the running.
However, Beckenbauer feels there is enough time for Mourinho to learn the language and be ready to take the reins in six months time.
'Mourinho? Why not? He would have until the summer to undergo a language course.' Beckenbauer wrote in his column in Germany's Bild newspaper.
'Our club needs a big name. He has got to be a great tactician, have already accumulated experience and have command of the German language.'
One man who does have such a CV is Beckenbauer himself, who has already led Bayern and Germany to glory in the 1990s.
However, the 62-year-old will not be putting forward his own candidacy this time.
'The only person I can really rule out of the running is myself,' he added.
'The initial short-list will be drawn up by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeness, then the board will take a vote.' 仲有傳獵味:icon101:
