The 58-year-old has been relieved of his duties after just one full season in charge of the German side as a result of their defeat in France.

Bayern Munich have terminated Carlo Ancelotti’s contract after talks with the club’s board in the wake of Wednesday’s defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

The German champions were humbled 3-0 in their Champions League clash in Paris, and the Italian coach came under criticism for leaving the Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Mats Hummels out of the starting XI.

The 58-year-old defended his tactics and selection for the game, telling reporters afterwards : “I know I will get criticism, that’s fine. I thought it was a good line-up for this game”.

However, he faced questions from the Bayern board over some of his decisions the next day, as German newspaper Sport Bild  revealed that crisis talks with the higher-ups was scheduled on Thursday.

CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge did not make it easy on Ancelotti when he  said the performance was “not Bayern Munich” and said the club needed to discuss it. Arjen Robben, meanwhile, refused to say whether the Bayern players still backed their boss .

And the Bavarian side have opted to part ways with the former PSG, Real Madrid and Chelsea boss after just one full season in charge.

Ancelotti leaves with Bayern sitting three points behind Borussia Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga after six games after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Hoffenheim and most recently losing a two-goal lead to draw with Wolfsburg.

The three-time Champions League winning coach signed a three year contract when he took over at the Allianz Arena in 2016 as Pep Guardiola’s replacement.

The former AC Milan star lifted the Bundesliga title at the only time of asking, but saw his side eliminated from the Champions League at the quarter-finals stage at the hands of Real Madrid. They also lost to Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal final last term.
