REPORT: Carlo Ancelotti to take over at Bayern in summer?
The two-time Champions League winner’s departure is closer to being a certainty than a probability.
“In 1977 Franz Beckenbauer left Bavaria to join the Cosmos. The papers wrote that it was the end of the world for Bayern. There was great irritation for three months, then people just turned the page.
"Life goes on, no-one is irreplaceable. It’s the normal cycle of life.
"Players come and go, as do coaches. I’m relaxed, if Guardiola were to leave another excellent coach would arrive. We only need to wait and see what happens”.
The number one name to replace Guardiola is Carlo Ancelotti. As we've previously reported, the former Real manager wants to return to football via a prestigious club after his one-year sabbatical. What better, then, than Bayern Munich?
The managers’ merry-go-round wouldn’t end there, however, as Guardiola is set to join Manchester City, though Chelsea and Real Madrid (where Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez could leave) are waiting in the wings.
Even a separation between PSG and Laurent Blanc can’t be counted out, it will all depend on the Ligue 1 team’s performance in the Champions League.
Important jobs for big-name coaches, which also include Diego Simeone and Antonio Conte, the latter of whom has yet to make a decision about his future.
