The Manchester City boss visited his old stomping grounds, and has reportedly helped the German champions pick a new manager.
Bayern Munich have reportedly settled on a new manager, and former boss Pep Guardiola has helped advise the club on their selection.
Assistant Willy Sagnol has taken over on an interim basis, and Bayern drew Hertha 2-2 on Sunday in the Frenchman’s first game in charge.
Bayern president Uli Hoeness has stated that the club were looking for a permanent replacement, however, meaning Sagnol’s time in charge of the club was always likely to be brief.
Speculation over Ancelotti’s successor has been rampant, with former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel and Hoffenheim manager Julian Nagelsmann among the favourites.
“I told him who we would appoint in the next few days,” Hoeness told Munich newspaper AZ of Guardiola. “He was satisfied.”
The Manchester City boss was visiting Munich during the international break to take in Oktoberfest celebrations.
