Bayern Munich have parted company with Carlo Ancelotti, just over a month into the new season, with the German champions sitting in third place in the Bundesliga.
Ancelotti looked on as Kylian Mbappe ripped his Bayern team apart in Paris, last night, with PSG handily brushing the Bundesliga giants aside 3-0 in the Champions League, highlighting that perhaps the Bavarians have fallen behind a lot of their continental rivals under Ancelotti's stewardship.
While only three points off the pace in the Bundesliga, behind league leaders Borussia Dortmund, there have been rumblings of discontent for a while at Bayern about Ancelotti's suitability as manager, with the German champions stagnating in the Champions League under the Italian, who is usually one of the most effective managers in Europe's elite competition, having won it three times in his managerial career, twice with AC Milan and once with Real Madrid.
