The former Barcelona coach will leave Allianz Arena
at the end of the season amid links with Manchester
City and United, and will be replaced by the
experienced Italian Bayern Munich have announced
that Carlo Ancelotti will take charge of the club next
season and replace Pep Guardiola, who is to depart.
The Spanish coach has enjoyed remarkable success
in Bavaria in his spell as manager, winning two
Bundesliga titles, one DFB-Pokal, the Uefa Super Cup
and the Fifa Club World Cup, but will leave after
choosing not to renew his contract.
And Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed that
Ancelotti, who has been out of work since being
sacked by Real Madrid in May, will take over at
Allianz Arena.
"We are thankful for everything that Guardiola has
given to this club and we hope that we will have
success this season," club chairman
Rummenigge told Bild
"With Ancelotti, a very successful coach will come to
Bayern again. We are looking forward to working
together."
The German giants defeated Hannover 96 1-0 on
Saturday and key attacker Thomas Muller claimed
afterwards the players are paying little attention to
their managerial situation.
"We don't care about that," he told Sky. "We want to
win everything this season, no matter how long it
takes with the coach's contract.
"I do not know whether he will renew in the end, but
if he doesn't then it does not matter. Jupp Heynckes
also did this in 2012-13 and we won the treble that
year."
