Bayern Munich sack Ancelotti

Carlos Ancelotti has been sacked by Bayern Munich.

The German club has fired the Italian as manager following their 3-0 defeat by Paris St-Germain in a Champions League fixture on Wednesday, 28 September.

The 58-year-old arrived in Munich at the start of last season to replace the outgoing Pep Guardiola.

He oversaw the side to winning the Bundesliga title in the last campaign but only reached the last eight of the Champions League and the German Cup semi-finals.

Bayern are currently sitting in third place in the domestic league.

Ancelotti has won the Champions League three times - with Milan in 2003 and 2007, and with Madrid in 2014 - making him the joint most successful manager in European cup history, along with former Liverpool boss Bob Paisley.

He has also won league titles in four separate countries - Germany, Spain, Italy and England.
