Carlo Ancelotti is a classy manager. And his Tweet following his Bayern Munich sacking only echoes that sentiment.
The 58-year-old's final game in charge of the German champions was a 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
And as a result, he lost his job with Bayern Munich parting company with Ancelotti.

FC Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge added: "I'd like to thank Carlo for his time working with us and I'm sorry about the way it has developed. Carlo is my friend and he will remain so, but we had to take a professional decision in the interests of FC Bayern. I expect the team to produce a positive response and show absolute determination to achieve our targets for the season."
As well as Ancelotti, his backroom staff which includes son, Davide Ancelotti, Giovanni Mauri, Francesco Mauri and Mino Fulco have also parted ways with immediate effect.
Despite Bayern binning their manager a few months into the new season, Ancelotti has issued a typically classy post on social media:
His Tweet reads: "It has been a great honour to form part of Bayern's history. I would like to thank the Club, the Players and it's amazing fans. #MiaSanMia"
Class act, Carlo.
