Carlo Ancelotti could be entering his final season as Bayern Munich head coach according to former captain Stefan Effenberg, who also implored the club to retain the services of Thomas Muller.
The Italian led Bayern to a fifth successive Bundesliga crown in his first season at the Allianz Arena but also oversaw the club’s earliest Champions League exit since 2010-11, losing to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
Bayern have suffered defeats at the hands of Arsenal, AC Milan, Inter, Liverpool and Napoli over the course of their pre-season schedule, and Effenberg believes Ancelotti may not be around much longer if he cannot improve on last term.
“If the season unfolds like the last one or perhaps even worse, it’s possible,” he told T-Online. “Players are exchanged at Bayern and maybe the coach also sometimes.”
