Bayern
The two giants, Munich and Real Madrid, are about to meet again. This game is a great opportunity for
Ancelotti (name)
It's particularly special for him as it will be his first time back at the Allianz Arena since leaving Bayern in 2017. Spanish newspaper Marca posted an article reviewing the Italian coach's tenure at Bayern.
Carlo Ancelotti succeeded Pep Guardiola as Bayern Munich's manager in July 2016 and under his leadership, Bayern won one Bundesliga title and two German Super Cups. However, the partnership between the two sides came to an end in September 2017.
In the 16/17 Champions League quarter-finals, Bayern were beaten in extra time by Real Madrid
The team was eliminated from the competition and was defeated by Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final of the German Cup. With the retirement of Lahm and Alonso, Ancelotti is looking to change the team.
Unfortunately, Carlo Ancelotti's reforms were not successful. In the 17/18 Champions League group stage, Bayern lost 0-3 to Paris
St. Germain, the loss became Carlo Ancelotti's last battle at Bayern. After the departure of two veterans, Bayern's locker room was thrown into disarray.
According to Bayern Munich's president Hernandez, there are five senior players in the squad who are unhappy with Carlo Ancelotti. Both Muller and Robben have publicly expressed their views, with Muller comparing the team to the "Wild West" and Robben complaining about Ancelotti's lack of training.
Marca speculates that those five players against Ancelotti could include Robben, Ribery, Hummels, Muller and Neuer
. Ultimately, the loss of control over the locker room led to Ancelotti's departure.
Now, with Carlo Ancelotti leading Real Madrid back to the Allianz Arena, this Champions League semi-final will not only be a battle between the two giants, but also an important moment in the veteran coach's personal career. The match will be a look back at the legacy of Ancelotti's time at Bayern, as well as a chance for him to prove his coaching abilities.
