Carlo Ancelotti to depart Bayern Munich following PSG defeat -- sources

Published on: 28 September 2017

After getting trounced 3-0 by PSG, the FC panel call out Ancelotti's naive tactics against PSG's free-flowing side. Relive the top moments from Wednesday's Champions League group stage games, including PSG's stomp, Lukaku's brace. Dani Alves, Edinson Cavani and Neymar all found the back of the net in PSG's big win over Bayern Munich.

Carlo Ancelotti is set to leave his role as coach at Bayern Munich, sources close to the club have told ESPN FC.

The move follows Bayern's 3-0 humbling at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday -- their biggest Champions League group-stage defeat in 21 years.

The news is set to be announced in a press conference on Thursday afternoon.

Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge warned there would be consequences following the defeat, with SportBild reporting on Thursday morning that a meeting was due to be held later in the day to discuss Ancelotti's future.

Bayern assistant coach Willy Sagnol could reportedly take over from Ancelotti, who replaced Pep Guardiola as coach in 2016, while former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel has also been mentioned.

Ancelotti won the Bundesliga title in his debut season at Bayern, but he saw his side knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid at the quarterfinal stage and by Borussia Dortmund in the DFB Pokal semifinals.

A slow start to the new Bundesliga season has seen Bayern lose one and draw one of their opening six games to leave them third in the table.
