Is Carlo Ancelotti being replaced at the end of the season as Bayern Munich boss? According to German football writer Raphael Honigstein, Ancelotti will make way for Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann.

"There is the assumption right now that Ancelotti is probably not going to see out his contract beyond the summer," says Honigstein.

He believes the club will move for Nagelsmann this summer to avoid missing out on another opportunity to bring in a young German coach, adding: "I think it’s happening for 2018 and I think they see him as a once-in-a-generation talent of management. To not take him would be the sort of mistake they made when they took Klinsmann instead of Jurgen Klopp in 2008."

I know Nagelsmann seems to be highly rated but I wasn't that impressed with his tactics. It was not like Rafa with Valencia level performance. But the fact that he got his team within spitting distance of CL is impressive.
 
Seems quite a leap of faith considering he's actually achieved fuck all so far.

Hardly like Baconface at Aberdeen, Mourinho at Porto, or Benitez at Valencia who actually won things in their early careers

I suppose he's a bit younger, although it doesn't seem as if he's proved much at all to justify landing that job, even if any fucking idiot should be able to win the league with Bayern
 
I think he has done a really good job at Hoffenheim.

They finished 15th in the league in 2015/16 - and when he took over they finished 4th last season, which is a pretty big turn around.

He is the only manager in Bundesliga who has yet to lose a game to Bayern - played them 3 times in the league, 2 wins 1 draw, that's a fantastic effort.

Did Bayern 2-0 last weekend and it was an emphatic performance, played them off the park - remarkable considering they lost Sebastian Rudy & Niklas Sule to Bayern in the summer.

Valencia is a massive club with a big following in Spain - Hoffenheim are nothing like them. Not even close.

That Valencia side had players on a completely different level to what Hoffenheim have - Canizares, Pellegrino, Ayala, Marchena, Albelda, Angulo, Vicente, Rufete, Aimar, Baraja ... what a side.

I think if Hoffenheim had drawn anyone else in the UCL playoff they would have qualified - definitely would have offered more than Maribor & Qarabag.

Reneiri took a team that finished 14th to league winners the following season.

And was sacked a few months later.

He's always getting sacked, and that title win was a marvellous, bewildering, fluke in an otherwise largely mediocre career.
 
...which was achieved largely because the players persuaded him not to tinker with things. When he resumed doing that the following season it all went tits up.
 
Since the home win against Bayern Munich:

Threw away a 1-0 lead at home and lost 2-1 to Sporting Braga in Europa League
Threw away a 1-0 lead at home to draw 1-1 vs. Hertha Berlin in Bundesliga
Losing 2-0 away to Mainz after 18 mins

😳

Okay, I've jinxed Mainz. 3-2 in the 93rd min.


(On a sidenote, Dortmund beat Hamburger 3-0. That's 13 goals scored and 0 conceded in 5 matches.)
