WOLFSBURG, Germany (Reuters) -Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick said on Saturday he had told the team and club bosses that he wanted to leave the German champions at the end of the season despite his contract running until 2023. He is the only Bayern coach ever to win six titles in a season and among the world's most successful given his short spell at the club. "The situation is I told the team today that I informed the club during the week that I wanted to get out of my contract at the end of the season," Flick said after his team's 3-2 victory over VfL Wolfsburg. Club President Herbert Hainer said earlier this week he was certain Flick would be staying at Bayern. Long seen as the frontrunner to succeed Joachim Loew as Germany coach after the European Championship in June and July, Flick, who was Loew's assistant when Germany won the 2014 World Cup, said his future had not yet been decided.
