Lahm eyes Champions League glory with Ancelotti

Pep Guardiola may have failed to deliver the European crown to the Allianz Arena, but the Bayern Munich right back hopes his successor can fulfill the expectation.

Philipp Lahm has set his sights on crowning his career with a second Champions League title, and hopes new Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti is the man to deliver it.

Lahm captained Bayern to European glory in 2013, but the Bavarian giant fell short in three consecutive semifinals under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, who is joining Manchester City from next season.

Ancelotti - a three-time winner of the Champions League as a coach - will replace Guardiola at the Allianz Arena, and Lahm has high hopes for his tenure.
