Bayern Munich have confirmed that Head Coach, Carlo Ancelloti has left his role at the club. This follows their 3-0 drubbing by PSG in Paris on Wednesday night.

A statement released shortly before 4 p.m. CET read: "Following an internal analysis in Munich on Thursday 28 September 2017, FC Bayern München have announced the club is to part company with head coach Carlo Ancelotti with immediate effect. Assistant coach Willy Sagnol will take charge of the team on an interim basis."

Club director Rummenigge said: "The team's performances since the start of the season have not matched the expectations that we set. The game in Paris showed clearly that we had to take action.

"That is what [sporting director] Hasan Salihamidzic and I explained to Carlo in an open and serious discussion today, and we informed him of our decision. I would like to thank Carlo for the collaboration and regret the way things have developed.

"Carlo is my friend and will remain so, but we needed to take a professional decision for the good of Bayern Munich. I now expect a positive improvement from the team and a total willingness to perform so that we can reach our objectives for this season."

After replacing Pep Guardiola 2016, Ancelloti only managed to lift the Bundesliga title and saw Bayern get knocked of the domestic cup competition and also the Champions League quarter final by Real Madrid.

For a Club who hired Ancelloti mainly to help them overcome their champions league nightmares, this was considered a poor spell for the Italian manager.
