Ancelotti ahead of Tuchel, Low in Arsenal board thinking

Arsenal chiefs have former Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel on their shortlist as a replacement for Arsene Wenger.

After their Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, Wenger's future has been cast into fresh doubt. Tuchel, Carlo Ancelotti and Germany coach Joachim Low are being linked with the job.

However, BILD says Low can be ruled out, with the 58 year-old not ready to jump immediately into a club post after this summer's World Cup.

Tuchel and Ancelotti are on Arsenal's agent, though there are doubts if the former has full support at the Gunners after his clash with chief scout Sven Mislintat at Borussia Dortmund.

Ancelotti, meanwhile, is again living in London and spending his weekends taking in Premier League games as he waits for an offer.
