Bayern Munich chief Rummenigge: Ancelotti still a friend despite axe

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insists he and former coach Carlo Ancelotti remain on good terms.

The former AC Milan boss was sacked by Bayern last month.

"That Thursday afternoon, when we returned to Munich after the 3-0 defeat in Paris, there was that meeting with Ancelotti and it wasn't pleasant," Rummenigge told Sky Sport Deutschland.

“At the end of the meeting, however, Ancelotti got up and said, 'okay, you're not my boss anymore, but you're still my friend.'

“I think [friend] describes him very well. In fact, we continue to see each other."
