Carlo Ancelotti is ready to take over from Pep Guardiola as Bayern Munich manager this summer according to the Daily Express.
The 56-year-old Italian was axed by Real Madrid over the summer and was strongly linked with a move to take over at Liverpool before Jurgen Klopp got the nod and would no doubt jump at the chance of a move to the Allianz Arena.
Guardiola has proven a big success since taking over at Bayern Munich, helping the Bavarian side to back to back domestic titles in his two completed seasons in charge as well as two strong runs to the Champions League semi-finals.
The former Barcelona manager has reportedly already agreed terms to take over at the Etihad Stadium and should the 44-year-old replace Manuel Pellegrini at Man City then Bayern Munich have a very strong replacement in Ancelotti to turn to.
