Jerome Boateng is confident Carlo Ancelotti is the right man for the
Bayern job and has likened him to former coach Jupp Heynckes
Bayern Munich defender Jerome
Boateng is looking forward to working under Carlo Ancelotti and expects
the Italian to be a similar coach to Jupp Heynckes.
Heynckes guided Bayern to a historic treble in 2012-13, before making way for Pep Guardiola.
Ancelotti
in turn will replace Guardiola as the man in charge ahead of the
2016-17 campaign and Boateng has little doubt the 56-year-old is the
right man for the job.
"It's not like I started calling people right away to find out what kind of coach Ancelotti is," Boateng told Abendzeitung.
"You
simply know stuff like that already. Toni Kroos and Sami Khedira, who
worked with him at Real Madrid, had already told me about him before.
"He
is a bit like Heynckes. He is pretty calm, talks a lot to his players
and has a good relationship with the team. And not a whole lot of
coaches will be able to match him tactically.
"Ancelotti
has seen and done it all, he has won a lot of silverware. It will be
quite something to work with him and I am looking forward to it."
