Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti has been
asked to explain how he lost his calm and stuck
a finger up at a group of Hertha Berlin fans at
the weekend.
The German Football Federation have asked the
usually affable Ancelotti to explain his
behaviour in an exchange with Hertha fans
whilst going down the tunnel after Bayern
earned a late 1-1 draw in Berlin.
“Ancelotti has been asked to submit a
statement on the events that transpired after
FC Bayern’s match at Hertha Berlin on
Saturday,” a Bayern Munich statement said
Monday.
“The FC Bayern head coach will of course
comply with this request.”
Ancelotti said Sunday he had suffered a rush of
blood to the head after he was spat upon.
“Yes, I made that gesture after I was spat on,”
the former Real Madrid, Chelsea and PSG coach
admitted to German TV channel ARD, shortly
after his charges had scored a 96th minute
equaliser.
