Carlo Ancelotti

Former Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says he will build on Pep Guardiola’s work at Bayern Munich rather than make wholesale changes.

Ancelotti was in December named as Guardiola’s successor at Bayern after it was confirmed the Spaniard would join Manchester City in 2016/17.

Guardiola claimed a hat-trick of Bundesliga titles at the Allianz Arena, having previously lifted 14 trophies in a four-year spell with Barcelona.

“I think we will be talking to each other before the start of the season.

“Pep did a great job in Munich. I do not want to change too much, but to build on his work. Kickoff.com
