Carlo Ancelotti Dismissed as Bayern Munich Manager
End of an Era for the Italian Maestro
After 15 Months in Charge
After nearly 15 months at the helm, Carlo Ancelotti's tenure as Bayern Munich manager came to an abrupt end on Thursday, September 28, 2017, following a humiliating 3-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain. The result marked Bayern Munich's first loss in their opening three Champions League matches, leaving them in a perilous position.
Ancelotti's departure comes as a shock to many, given his successful track record at Bayern Munich. Under his leadership, the team won the Bundesliga title in his first season and reached the semifinals of the Champions League. However, the team's recent performances have been disappointing, with Bayern Munich losing four of their last five matches in all competitions.
The club's management cited a lack of positive results and a perceived lack of connection between Ancelotti and the players as reasons for his dismissal. Former Bayern Munich player Willy Sagnol has been appointed as interim manager while the club searches for a permanent replacement.
Ancelotti's departure marks the end of an era at Bayern Munich. He becomes the second manager to be sacked by the club in as many years, following Pep Guardiola's departure in 2016. The club will now be looking to appoint a new manager who can restore Bayern Munich's dominance in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
