Berlin: Bayern Munich’s first game under new coach Carlo Ancelotti will be a friendly at their Allianz Arena against Manchester City — handled of course by Bayern’s outgoing boss Pep Guardiola.
“It’s the first big game of the season,” Bayern said announcing the July 20 clash in Munich, where they have promised star players Franck Ribery, Philipp Lahm, Arjen Robben and Xavi Alonso will all feature.
The 56-year-old Italian Ancelotti took over from Guardiola two weeks ago and has won the Champions League three times, in 2003 and 2007 with AC Milan and at Real Madrid in 2014.
