While I'm not the biggest Ancelotti guy, I'll defend this, if you got a player ready to retire that early, he probably is no longer fully invested in putting the work required to play at that level.

That account is posting wild stuff from a French journo who just leaked a bunch of stories, a lot involving french football
France knows drama man...
There's even more
Feel like I need a shower after learning about some of these stories man
*the least surprising thing is probably that apparently everyone at P$G hates Leonardo's, their sporting director, guts
yikes

I said this a week ago, and since then we've had French Tonya Harding, #poopgate, Mendy2, and more. It needs to slow down!

Is there some context missing here? All I have is Lahm wanted to retire, Ancelotti tried to get him to change his mind but wasn’t too pushy, likely out of the same respect that made him ask Lahm to continue with Bayern in his staff, and now Ancelotti is getting blamed?
If a dude who’s accomplished everything wants to retire then you respect his decision and it’s not on anyone to convince him otherwise.

I think it's moreso just showing the disconnect he had at bayern. it was reported from day 1 he had 0 relationship with any players basically. still not sure why we hired an italian who didn't speak german and couldn't communicate with anyone

those to me are 2 different things though. Carlo is known to be a player’s coach and to give freedom to high level players. So I’d imagine that same respect goes off the field onto why he gave Lahm his space here. Nobody should have to convince a club legend who’s been there since his youth to come out of retirement. Especially someone who just got there, if anything that’s on all the Bayern OGs running the club. Seems Carlo just understood his place and boundaries.

Philip Lahm wanted to be wined and dined to be brought back. He was teasing

Ancelotti did the right thing.
That's like begging a girl to stay when she's set on leaving.
If someone wants to leave, you let them leave. F all that begging and pleading.
