He was brought to Glasgow by former boss Brendan Rodgers back in 2016 but will now work with ex-Hoops managerial target Jesse Marsch.
A Leipzig statement said: “Dr. Helge Riepenhof's performance unit will be expanded next season to include the Sports Science department, which will be led by Jack Nayler.”
It is believed Postecoglou will now search for a replacement.
Nayler opted to remain at Parkhead after Rodgers left the club and he worked under Neil Lennon and John Kennedy during his time as interim manager.
