Ancelotti was fired immediately after losing to PSG

The decision was made after Bayern Munich's board of directors held an urgent meeting on the afternoon of September 28 (local time).

In the second round of the Champions League group stage last night, Bayern suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat when visiting PSG. A few days earlier, they had lost to the underdogs.Wolfsburg drew and finished third after six Bundesliga games. The poor performance was the reason Carlo Ancelotti had to leave.

“The team’s performance since the start of the season has not lived up to the expectations we set for ourselves,” CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said on Bayern’s website. “The game in Paris has had this effect. Today, Hasan Salihamidzic and I had a serious and open discussion with Carlo Ancelotti and informed him of our decision.”

“I would like to thank Carlo for his cooperation and regret this early departure after the achievements he has made. Carlo remains my friend, but we have to do this for Bayern Munich. I expect the team to develop and achieve optimal results, in order to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves.”

Ancelotti could not help Bayern show their class in the Champions League.

Ancelotti's assistants Davide Ancelotti, Giovanni Mauri, Francesco Mauri and Mino Fulco also had their contracts terminated.Temporarily taking the hot seat is assistant Willy Sagnol - a former Allianz Arena player. The Bavarian "Gray Tigers" are targeting the former coach ofDortmund -Thomas Tuchel, while the new 30-year-old strategist Julian Nagelsmann (Hoffenheim) once expressed his desire to replace Ancelotti.

Immediately after the defeat at PSG, Rummenigge hinted at Ancelotti's future: "What we saw in this match was not Bayern Munich. This is a painful defeat that we need to dissect. It is very possible that it will lead to some consequences."

“I think everyone will agree with this. It is important that we act immediately, together rebuilding the reputation of Bayern Munich, a team that has established itself in Europe and Germany over the years,” the 62-year-old executive stressed.

Although Rummenigge did not say who was to blame for the defeat, Ancelotti was criticised for benching stars like Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Mats Hummels. The Italian made six changes from the draw with Wolfsburg last weekend, and has never retained the same back four for two consecutive games.

In response to complaints from the public and leaders,58 years old coachstill believes that the lineup against PSG was the right choice. “I calculated carefully to come up with the optimal lineup. I know I will receive criticism for that, but it's okay. I still believe in the lineup, it's just that the match didn't go as I wanted.”

Meanwhile, Robben also refused to comment on Ancelotti's surprising decision after the match ended.

Ancelotti arrived at the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2016, replacing Pep Guardiola. He brought home the Bundesliga Silver Plate in his first season, along with two German Super Cups. But that was not enough for the "Gray Tigers"' ambition to reach out to Europe. Ancelotti ended his coaching career at Bayern after only 60 matches, the lowest number since his first team - Reggiana. He achieved a winning rate of 70%, only surpassed by his years coaching Real Madrid (75%).
