Overview

• Multiple German outlets published first passages on September 24 from Carlo Ancelotti’s upcoming biography, which is scheduled for release on October 1.
• He labels his 2017 dismissal from Bayern after a 0–3 defeat at Paris Saint‑Germain as the most ruthless of his career and notes he was fired the next day.
• Ancelotti depicts Bayern’s governance as split among shareholders and influential former players, saying it was unclear who held real authority, with Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeneß central figures.
• He recounts being given a five‑point discipline list by executives to read to the squad, which he presented as a board order to signal his distance from the directive.
• He acknowledges tactical mistakes in Paris, including dropping Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry and pushing defenders higher, and the reports note no substantive public rebuttal from Bayern.
