Jurgen Klopp 'Ready' to Take Charge of Bayern Munich, Says Christoph Metzelder

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is "ready" to replace Carlo Ancelotti as Bayern Munich manager, according to former Germany defender Christoph Metzelder.

The Bundesliga champions confirmed Ancelotti had left the club after their 3-0 UEFA Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Italian won the title in his first campaign with Bayern but appeared to pay for a poor start to the season, with the club now five points behind Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga table.

Bayern chairman Uli Hoeness has also said his position had become untenable as "there were five players against Ancelotti," per Westfalenpost (via The Independent's Jack Austin).
