The company said in its statement on Tuesday that it was considering changes to its complicated management structure.
Mueller has been accused of a weakness in his decision-making at Europe's biggest auto manufacturer, a source close to the supervisory board told dpa.
The move comes after Europe's largest automaker has been hampered by infighting among its powerful stakeholders, which include the Porsche and Piech families, the German state of Lower Saxony, and labour leaders.
