"This has been the most difficult decision in my time as board member for sport at Bayern Munich," Sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic told the club's official website.
"I have had an open, trusting, friendly relationship with Julian from day one.
"I regret the parting of the ways with Julian. But after a thorough analysis of the sporting development of our team, especially since January and with the experience of the second half of the previous season, we have now decided to release him. I am very grateful to Julian for what he has done for FC Bayern and I wish him all the best."
