FALL OF ANCELOTTI: COLD TREATMENT TO YOUNG PEOPLE AS RENATO SANCHES ALSO DEVISED ITALIAN
The team's results in the 2016/17 season and Carlo Ancelotti's way of working led Bayern Munich's administration to decide late this spring that the Italian would not make the three-year contract that had been agreed just over a year earlier, when he joined the club to succeed Pep Guardiola.
According to ESPN news, Uli Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, president and CEO of the German club, soon realized that they had made a mistake when it became clear that Ancelotti was unable to assert itself as a pillar of a new cycle that intend to begin with the aging of the campus.
He also felt that he would not complete the contract because he knew that the German leaders had lost confidence in his work and ability to renew the squad by becoming aware of the cold and distant way he treated young people - for the Portuguese international Renato Sanches, who ended up on loan to Swansea, French international Kingsley Coman and German international Joshua Kimmich.
All elements of this trio were reduced to residual uses in 2016/17, "because Ancelotti favored players who were 'made and ready to enter and play in the main team', making it clear that he was not interested in helping young people evolve," he said. read in the article.
Still, top Bavarian club officials believed the team could achieve the goals if the technical structure was strengthened and, at the end of the season, presented Julian Nagelsmann (Hoffenheim) as the Italian's successor.
That is why Willy Sagnol arrived to join the group of deputies, and Hassan Salihamidzic, for the sporting direction. But the results in the Bundesliga and the heavy defeat in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain precipitated the decision to dismiss Ancelotti, at a time when it increased the discontent of some of the most respected players of the squad in relation to the methods of work and decisions of the Italian.
Bayern Munich are now poised to hand over the team's technical command to retired veteran Jupp Heynckes, who will transition to Nagelsmann, according to an article in the Bild newspaper.
