BERLIN, Sept. 15-- While Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti is trying to ease the tension at his club Bayern Munich, a media report is causing new trouble for the Bavarian club and its Italian star coach. According to information of the US based TV station ESPN, the three times Champions League winner could leave Bayern earlier than expected when he does not manage to gain success in the Champions League. Ancelotti has to reach the semifinal of the 2017/2018 campaign, says the report. The current contract is running out in 2019. Based on inside club information Bayern can use an exit clause for 2018. Bayern have refused to comment the report. According to several other German media reports, Ancelotti will make way for TSG Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann as early as the end of the season. The deal with the 30-year-old Nagelsmann is said to be fixed already. Bavarian-born Nagelsmann in a recent interview admitted: "I am happy in Hoffenheim, but Bayern would make me happier." Pundits assume the club will move for Nagelsmann this summer to avoid missing out on another opportunity to bring in a young German coach. In the past, Bayern thought about Juergen Klopp (FC Liverpool) and former Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel but instead decided to go for Pep Guardiola and Ancelotti. According to English media reports, former Chelsea coach Ancelotti (2009 - 2011) is considering a return to the Premier League when leaving Bayern. |
