Carlo Ancelotti would take the Arsenal job this season

Ancelotti was sacked by Bayern this week after tension flared following their Champions League defeat to PSG.

Bayern went down 3-0 to the French hotshots and reports claim Ancelotti lost the dressing room.

And Italian publication Mediaset Premium claim Ancelotti will now put his feet up for the rest of the season.

However they claim the one job he would take right now is Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger signed a new two-year deal in the summer despite a poor season at the Emirates.

Fans were calling for him to leave after 20 years in charge.

But he signed a new contract and wants to take the club back to the Champions League.

And his position could come back into focus with Ancelotti’s stance - with it well-known he would like to return to London.

He’s been linked with the post at West Ham with Slaven Bilic’s position uncertain.

But the 58-year-old is setting his sights higher.
