I wonder if Carlo keeps Javi at CB or if he moves him back to the midfield. I think Lahm goes back at RB permanently(if he wasn't already) and Alaba at LB. I also wonder if there is a particular player Carlo absolutely wants here(Verratti?) and if so, who he views as expendable. Carlo also supposedly didn't rotate a lot with Madrid, so hopefully it was because he viewed the alternatives as not good enough and doesn't let our depth go to waste here.
Ancelotti was a pretty logical choice. Our squad is complete and we don't need a tactical overhaul, so Ancelotti is the best candidate to keep the team at the top . Ancelotti probably knows the players strengths and won't tinker too much with tactics. Don't expect a tactical revolution though(a la Pep)
Ancelotti will play more similar to jupp. I expect a double pivot in midfield plus an attacking guy infront of them. I expect the double pivot to be thiago-vidal with martinez and alonso to rotate , and with muller or gotze as a 10. Giving our personell this suits us more
Carlo can have my babies if that the case. This what this outgoing punk never understood; we are still more effective with Jupp's style and all he needed to do was make tweaks not an overall.
WELCOME "BIMBO"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now every fan of AS Roma will support FC Bayern too, I just heard some friends of mine, they wished Ancelotti to AS Roma but it seems Luciano Spalletti will be their new coach-

I wouldn't want carlo to win the league next season since he already ran his mouth that anyone can win it with hands in pocket. Just give me 2 CL titles
I like Ancelotti as a coach and I think hes a good acquisition. I also cant wait for him to carry on the tradition of Trapp's press conference party pieces.
I think Carlo will continue Pep's system and make changes as necessary. Key personnel on whom his opinion will be relevant include Javi, Alaba, Lahm, Rafinha, Hojbjerg, Gotze and Coman.
I wonder who Carlo has on his transfer wish list for next summer. Hitzfeld got his Luca Toni, van Gaal his Robben, Henyckes his Javi and Guardiola his Thiago. I expect the FO will extend the same courtesy to Ancelotti.
I heard some rumours about some guy in fiorentina Apperantly he is tearing it up this season and ancelotti is a big fan. The dream would be veratti ofcourse
Well I hope to god he rotates heavily. We have a WC depth just sitting there. That's one of his biggest weaknesses from what I hear. It will be interesting to see what style he plays with, I hope he's more flexible about tactics then pep in certain situations
I wouldn't be worried too much about our success with Carlo. I'm sure we will be at least as good as now (e.g. Bundesliga and a deep Champions League run, maybe winner). I just hope Carlo can retain the attractive aspect of our play. Since 2013, I have been spoiled by our play, many big matches have since become so boring, because I was getting to much with Bayern. I just hope we will still play as beautifully and dominantly with him as we do now.
Hopefully, Ancelotti can take over the finish line in the CL as he has done elsewhere (or continue over finish line depending on how this season plays out) and this ridiculous injury bug will be an Guardiola related aberration. In the meantime, he needs to brush up on how to give an Italian German press conference
According to rumors in Italy he wants to sign Bernardeschi from Fiorentina. Don't know much about him but my viola friends make him sound like the second coming of Jesus.
Watch all his CL titles dry up once he gets here... There's only so many CL titles a coach can win. I believe in the law of averages theories and I think he has used up all his averages already
Managers who are fully invested in the leadership conference circuit. He also has his own logo, the little A with the CL stars lol
