Gossip & Rumours

By Game Yetu | Sep 28, 2017

Carlo Ancelotti has been fired from his role as coach at Bayern Munich, according to sources close to the club.

This is after Bayern's 3-0 humbling by PSG on Wednesday in Champions’ League group-stage defeat.

According to KweseEspn, the news is set to be announced in a news conference on Thursday afternoon.

Bayern assistant coach Willy Sagnol could reportedly take over from Ancelotti, who replaced Pep Guardiola as coach in 2016.

Former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel has also been linked with the role.

Ancelotti won the Bundesliga title in his debut season at Bayern, but saw his side knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid at the quarterfinal stage and by Borussia Dortmund in the DFB Pokal semifinals.

A rather dull start to the new Bundesliga season has seen Bayern lose one and draw one of their opening six games to leave them third in the table.
