The fuming German chancellor is planning to wield the axe on the bungling bureaucrat, who is facing calls from across the continent to resign.
Senior ministers in Berlin have been dismayed by Mr Juncker's confrontational approach to Britain over the last fortnight and now believe he is "part of the problem".
Mrs Merkel is said to be particularly perturbed by the unpopular Commission president using the Brexit result to "gloat" and push for further EU integration.
Crowing interviews he has given trying to marginalise and provoke Britain have proved the final straw, and she has now decided to sack him within the next year.
Whilst the German supremo does not alone have the power to oust Mr Juncker from his position, losing her confidence would be a hammer blow and it is unlikely other states will seek to keep him in place.
In particular there is fury and bewilderment in Berlin at his decision to welcome Nicola Sturgeon to Brussels and then talk openly on German television encouraging Scottish and Northern Irish independence.
And Mrs Merkel, who is under intense pressure from industry chiefs to secure a free trade deal with Britain, has come to the conclusion that his poisonous presence could torpedo upcoming exit talks.

Merkel: ‘I want that Fokker out of here!’
Actually.
That has an historical ring to it!
That and with the falling Pound the British exports should go through the roof. More pie in the face for the EU snots.
There was probably still a chance for the BREXIT vote to be defeated IF PM Cameron had come away from his last meeting with President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker with some concessions. However he, Juncker, was first reading the tea leaves that were showing elite efforts to stay in the EU AND he was very concerned that concessions to the UK would lead to concessions to everybody in the EU.
The fact of the matter is that no bureaucrat EVER wants to give up any power and Juncker thought he was dealing from strength. Oops!
Posts BUMP!
They don't seem to understand that that's part of the problem with the EU.
EU has become the 4th Reich.
how do the boards of Bayer, BASF, Seimens, Mercedes, volkswagen, BMW and Thyssenkrupp feel on the matter?
They are what matters
You win the “Internet’s Dry but curiously effective Humor award!” Bravo sir or madame...Bravo!
He who pays the piper, calls the tune.
She is trying to deflect anger and blame from herself.
The person most directly responsible for Brexit is Angela Merkel with her insane immigration policies.
She is the one that should be ousted and given the boot.
Angela Merkel: Night of the long knives
