Ancelotti’s China talks

- BY CLIVE HETHERINGT­ON

SACKED Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti is set for talks about a big-money move to China.

The former Chelsea chief, dismissed by Bayern 10 days ago, is booked to meet representa­tives of a number of Chinese Super League clubs this week.

The 58-year-old Italian could be offered around £30million a year to head to the Far East, making him the highest-paid manager in world football.

Ancelotti last month dismissed as “a joke’’ claims he had agreed a pre-contract to join a Chinese club in January.

But that was before he was bombed out following Bayern’s 3-0 Champions League defeat to his old club Paris Saint-Germain.
