Talks of a potential move for axed Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti from West Ham have already begun, only hours after the Italian was sacked by the German champions.

The former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss was let go by the Bundesliga giants yesterday afternoon following Bayern’s 3-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League which concluded a run of indifferent form in all competitions.

Bayern had lost 6 of their last 18 games in all competitions and currently reside in third place in Germany’s top flight, a run of form that was deemed poor enough to see Ancelotti shown the door.

The ex-Chelsea man could find himself with a job offer on the table soon however, with West Ham reportedly eyeing up Ancelotti as a replacement for ‘dead man walking’ Slaven Bilic, according to The Guardian.

West Ham co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan are desperate to get rid of the Croatian after a poor start to the season and a break down in relations between the trio, and could do everything in their power to bring Ancelotti to the London Stadium in an attempt to turn the club’s fortunes around.

Ancelotti is one of the modern eras most successful managers, with a trophy cabinet that includes three Champions Leagues, Serie A, Bundesliga and Premier League titles as well as numerous domestic trophies from across Italy, Germany and England.
