Carlo Ancelotti will be ending his sabbatical soon. According to multiple reports, he will become the next Manager at Bayern Munich. He will obviously succeed Pep Guardiola, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
According to The Guardian, Ancelotti has reached an agreement in principle with German giant club, and Guardiola will formally announce his departure in the next few days. Bayern is to make their formal introduction of Ancelotti early next week too.

With the former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss coming to Allianz Arena, we now have the second major domino falling today. Pep’s departure would be the third. Chelsea sacking Jose Mourinho was obviously the first. The next domino to fall could be Louis van Gaal at Manchester United.
Numerous outlets are claiming that Van Gaal could be in danger of getting the sack, following another embarrassing loss today; this time to Norwich City.
With that, the domino theory could become the great coaching carousel. We have rumors of Jose Mourinho to United. Then there’s the gossip that Manchester City want Guardiola to supplant their incumbent Manuel Pellegrini.
Get ready because the next few days and weeks are going to be crazy; and fun! No one knows how it will all shape out. We just know that Ancelotti is now off the boards for Chelsea, Man United etc.
