Could Carlo Ancelotti return to PSG if Tuchel goes to Bayern? (Daily Mail)

The fall has not been kind to Carlo Ancelotti. The Napoli manager has struggled to get his team to perform in Serie A this year, and they currently sit eight points out of a Champions League spot. Now, there are rumors that he's on the way out and could be heading back to France.

Under pressure Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti could make a surprise return to the Paris Saint-Germain hotseat, according to a report in France.

Of course, all of this hinges on whether or not Bayern pull the trigger on hiring Thomas Tuchel away from PSG.

And Foot Mercato believe that Ancelotti could once again take up the reins in the French capital should Thomas Tuchel become Bayern Munich’s new manager.

Ginter is coming... back (Borussia.de)

That’s right: Ginter is coming. Or rather he will already be there when Bayern Munich comes to Mönchengladbach to play the current top team in the Bundesliga. Ginter has gotten over some muscular issues and rejoined team training on Wednesday. He said of Saturday’s match-up, “We want to make it as difficult as possible for Bayern, but they possess great quality. That’s where the hard part comes in.”

Ginter’s fellow 2014 World Cup champion, Christoph Kramer said,

We need to show what has made us strong in recent weeks against top opponents; be brave in possession, stick to our game plan and to prevent Bayern from executing theirs.

Bayern are currently in high spirits. To conquer them we need a perfect day and for them to have a not so good one.

Gladbach has won five home games in a row, so Bayern will indeed need to play their collective best after a disappointing loss to Bayer Leverkusen last week. “We are looking forward to the game,” said goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

Congratulations, David and Shalimar!
