5 reasons why Carlo Ancelotti and Bayern Munich are in trouble

#4 Carlo needs a rest

Pep Guardiola took a sabbatical away from the game before taking over at Bayern Munich

So does many of the best managers. Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho have taken recent sabbaticals away from the pressures and intensities of managing at the highest level to take stock and refresh themselves ahead of their next challenges. This has not been the case for Carlo Ancelotti, hopping from the pressures of Chelsea to Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid and now to Bayern Munich without a break over the course of the last decade. And this has no doubt taken its toll on the Italian.

Ancelotti boasts an incredible record as a manager, and his ability to succeed in the Champions League is without a doubt what attracts the biggest clubs to him. However, he has a huge challenge ahead of him at Bayern and even Guardiola who took a year out before embarking on the same project.

Ancelotti is a good fit for Bayern Munich, but they need him at his best.
