Bayern Munich are ready to hand Carlo Ancelotti the task of replacing Pep Guardiola as manager at the Allianz Arena after losing patience with the Spaniard’s refusal to resolve his future at the club.
Senior figures at Bayern believe thatGuardiola is preparing to announce his decision to leave the German champions when his contract expires next June having been tempted to move to the Premier League by Manchester City.
Guardiola is planning to clarify his intentions following Bayern’s Bundesliga encounter with Hannover on Saturday, but moves have already been made to secure Ancelotti as his successor with Bayern determined to avoid a period of uncertainty at the club.
Ancelotti, out of work since being sacked by Real Madrid at the end of last season, is understood to have already been offered the opportunity to succeed Guardiola.
In an exclusive interview with the Independent last week, the Italian admitted his desire to return to work next summer having chosen to spend a year out of the game in the wake of departure from Real, who he guided to Champions League glory in 2014.
While Ancelotti had been keen to work again in the Premier League, following a successful two-year spell at Chelsea, the opportunity to take charge of Bayern is likely to prove too great a position to reject in order to wait for the potential chance to succeed Louis van Gaal at Manchester United next summer.
