Bayern Munich star Arjen Robben slams former boss Carlo Ancelotti’s training methods – claiming his son’s youth team were better drilled
Former Chelsea boss was dumped after 3-0 rout against PSG amid reports of dressing room unrest
ARJEN ROBBEN launched a stinging attack on axed Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti by criticising the Italian's training methods.
The former Chelsea boss was dumped following a humiliating 3-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.
And Robben, 33, stuck the knife in as he blasted: "There’s better training at my son’s youth team [than under Ancelotti]."
After replacing Pep Guardiola last season, Ancelotti's methods were reportedly questioned behind closed doors by senior stars Xabi Alonso and Philipp Lahm.
The experienced tactician kept his job after leading Bayern to the Bundesliga title.
But he was sacked after a slump in form, with Willy Sagnol taking the job on an interim basis.
And Robben's damning comments seem to confirm reports of dressing room unrest over Ancelotti's outdated methods.
Ironically, his next coaching assignment will be with kids as he heads to Israel.

The sports playground - created as part of the Assist for Peace project in the Armenian quarter - was supported by many famous sportsmen to establish solidarity in Isreal.
Ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel is favourite to come in as Ancelotti’s long-term replacement.
Sagnol and Julian Nagelsmann are the other front-runners, with retired midfielder Xabi Alonso an 18-1 punt.
