Carlos Ancelotti is no longer the coach of Bayern Munich, with the Bavarian club having decided to act in the aftermath of Wednesday night’s 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.
Not only were the German side battered by their group-stage rivals from the French capital, but they are also struggling in the Bundesliga and are currently in third place.
The players were informed of the decision early on Thursday afternoon, before the club released a statement confirming their move.
“Our team’s performances since the start of the season have not met our expectations and the match in Paris clearly showed we had to take immediate action,” a club statement quoted chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge as saying.
It was also confirmed in the statement that Willy Sagnol will take over as caretaker coach.
Thomas Tuchel is thought to be the leading candidate to inherit the job on a permanent basis.
