Ancelotti wants to leave Bayern Munich legacy

Carlo Ancelotti cannot wait to get started at Bayern Munich and hopes to match Giovanni Trapattoni, the club's only previous Italian boss.

New Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti says he wants to build his own legacy at the Bundesliga champion.

The former Real Madrid boss pointed out he is the second Italian to take charge of the club after Giovanni Trapattoni and hopes to be remembered as fondly as his compatriot – a Bundesliga winner in 1996-97 – at the end of his own spell.

Ancelotti was presented by Bayern on Monday after agreeing to a three-year deal to replace Pep Guardiola, who has joined Manchester City.
