<!--Article Start--> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Bayern Munich has announced that Italian Carlo Ancelotti will be taking over as the manager at the Bavarian club from the start of the 2016/17 season, after the tenure of Pep Guardiola is over.</h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Ancelotti has been on a sabbatical since ending his term as the manager of Real Madrid last season, and it seems that the Italian is finally ready to get back in to football management at a top club.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The news was confirmed by Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on Sunday. Current manager Guardiola had mentioned that the latest advancement would be announced on Sunday, and that is exactly what has happened.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"We are thankful for everything that Guardiola has given to this club and we hope that we will have success this season," said Rummenigge to German newspaper <a href="http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/bayern-muenchen/verkuendet-ancelotti-als-pep-nachfolger-43870664.bild.html">Bild</a>. "With Ancelotti, a very successful coach will come to Bayern again. We are looking forward to working together."</p> <h2 style="text-align: justify">Clubs swarm in over Pep Guardiola</h2> <p style="text-align: justify">The former FC Barcelona coach is one of the greatest tacticians in the world of football at the moment, and this perhaps has set a number of clubs on high alert, as Guardiola would be without a contract after the end of the 2015/16 season.</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">Chelsea FC have sacked their fan-favourite manager Jose Mourinho due to poor results, and have appointed Guus Hiddink as the interim coach. They would be looking to sign a new manager and are in the hunt for Guardiola's signature. Manchester United have also not been performing well and, after a home loss to relegation battling Norwich City on Saturday, there have been a lot of hues and cries to sack manager Louis van Gaal, which could mean that the Red Devils will also try to land Guardiola.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">However, Manchester City are said to have been pursuing Guardiola's signature for a long time, and are favourites to land him at the moment.</p> <!--Article End-->
