Bayern Munich won their 11th consecutive German title in dramatic fashion, defeating Cologne 2:1, while main rivals Borussia Dortmund ceded the top of the table after a draw with Mainz.
But just minutes after Džamal Musijala scored the deciding goal in Cologne, it was announced that general manager Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić had been replaced.
Bayern midfielder Thomas Müller was surprised at the moment the news was announced, saying: “It's happening now? A minute after the final whistle?"
While coach Thomas Tuchel, who president Herbert Heiner insisted remains at the club, said: "Instead of celebrating, we now have another problem.
“My two main men are no longer here. We have to align our ideas."

It was not the first time that it seemed that the management of Bayern made a decision at the wrong time.
At the end of March, the German champions sacked coach Julian Nagelsmann despite the team losing just three games in all competitions and replaced him with Tuchel.
The former coach of London Chelsea failed to immediately change things for the better, and Bayern was eliminated from the Champions League and the German Cup.
The weekend before the last round, Tuchel's side dropped to second place in the Bundesliga after losing 3:1 to Leipzig.
But Dortmund could not keep calm in the last round, which brought Bayern the trophy.
But the board of directors had already decided to thank Kan and Salihamidzic for their cooperation before the team played the last game against Cologne.
In the management of Bayern, the prevailing opinion was that the aforementioned duo had made too many mistakes recently, including the changes of coach and expensive mistakes in the transfer market, and above all the bringing of Sadio Mane from Liverpool.
Rumenige and Hennes will return
As is often the case with organizations in turmoil, Bayern are reverting to what has worked in the past.
Jan-Christian Dresen, the club's long-time financial director, has taken over the position of executive director, while Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hennes are supposed to be advisers, and the former also becomes part of Bayern's supervisory board.
What is known is that Rummenigge and Hennes, who have led Bayern for decades, are returning to stabilize the club and use the vast network in European football to ensure the next big transfers have the desired effect.
A few weeks ago, Hoenes made an unannounced arrival at Bayern's training facility, signaling that the former president, who served a prison sentence from 2014 to 2016 for tax fraud, could once again take over.
During this visit, Hennes spoke with coach Tuchel for about 15 minutes.
Rummenigge and Hennes hope the 49-year-old coach can improve the team's overall performance and integrate new players as Bayern look to begin a squad rebuild this summer.
Mane is one of the players that Bayern are willing to sell if they receive a suitable offer.
The former Liverpool star earns around £325.000 (€377.000) a week and has had disappointing performances, especially in the second half of the season.
Tuchel did not consider playing Mane in the last two league games, which speaks volumes for his position in the team.
What Bayern desperately need is a classic striker who is comfortable in the heart of the penalty area.
Such was Robert Lewandowski, but the Polish attacker went to Barcelona in the summer of 2022.
Mane replaced Lewandowski, but both the team and he suffered.
Bayern are reportedly interested in Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht and Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus.
Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane is also on the list of possible transfer targets, but Bayern are aware of strong competition for the England captain.
However, even more important than several transfers this summer will be the overall appearance and image of the club.

In good times, Bayern are known as a well-oiled machine, while in bad times they have been nicknamed "FC Hollywood" because of the drama behind the scenes and in public.
They are back in the "FK Hollywood" phase and need to get out of it as soon as possible.
This would mean more consistency in the manager's office, no drama in the boardroom and less leaks to the media.
Although Rummenigge and Hennes couldn't always prevent drama, the two led Bayern through highly successful eras during which the Munich club beat the biggest clubs from England or Spain in the Champions League.
Whether they can recreate those successes remains to be seen.
The only thing that is certain is that Bayern is still strong enough to win the domestic championship, albeit with a lot of difficulty.
