Carlo Ancelotti Is Already Being Linked With Two New Jobs

He may have been unemployed for all of two minutes, but Carlo Ancelotti is already being linked with two new jobs, after parting company with Bayern Munich, earlier today.

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 had 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.

Early season dropped points against Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg didn't help Ancelotti's cause, with last night's humbling in the French capital the last straw for the Italian at the Allianz Arena.

Yet, despite the premature ending to his Bavarian adventure, it appears that the Italian coach isn't going to be short of offers, with the Twitter rumour mill already throwing up two potential destinations for the former Bayern manager.

Ancelotti has of course already enjoyed a spell at the San Siro, leading Milan to a Serie A title, two Champions Leagues, a Coppa Italia and a FIFA Club World Cup between 2001 and 2009, before he left Italy to take over as Chelsea manager, leading the Blues to a domestic double in his debut season in the Premier League. Ancelotti would then be dismissed by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich a year later after failing to successfully defend the league title.

The Italian's assistant at Bayern, former club full-back Willy Sagnol, is being linked with the currently vacant position at the Allianz Arena, with former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel and Hoffenheim's 30-year-old wunderkind manager Julian Nagelsmann also being put forward to fill the role.
