The bizarre 'real reason' Bayern sacked Carlo Ancelotti | OneFootball

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeneß has given a bizarre new reason behind the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti.

It seemed clear that the Italian was relieved of his duties at the Allianz Arena due to a poor run of form: Bayern were struggling in the Bundesliga at the time and had been brushed aside by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

However, that now doesn’t appear to be the reason behind the sacking.

“Ancelotti’s assistants did not fit in at this club,” Hoeneß has said.

“With Carlo it wasn’t a problem, everything was OK with him, but every day there was a fight between the physios, the doctors and Ancelotti’s fitness coaches.”

“In an environment like that, you can’t work.”

After holding talks with Thomas Tuchel, Bayern opted to appoint former head coach Jupp Heynckes until the end of the season.

Bayern have since won nine out of ten games and sit top of the Bundesliga, three points clear of RB Leipzig.
