We already know Arjen Robben's feelings on Carlo Ancelotti, and it appears a trio of key players also went against the Italian manager.

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness suggested that he lost the dressing room, while saying 'Ancelotti had five players against him'.

Robben is obviously one of the five, and another three have been reportedly named.

The Dutch winger was pleased to see the back of the 58-year-old after claiming there was better training sessions at his sons youth team.

And he wasn't the only disgruntled member of Ancelotti's squad. German outlet Kicker report three players approached club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller and Jerome Boateng all met with Rummenigge to make him aware of the poorly structured training sessions, not to mention venting their concerns with fitness coach Giovanni Mauri who has also departed the Allianz Arena.

Ancelotti and Mauri, as well as Carlo's son, Davide, Francesco Mauri and Mino Fulco were also sacked following Bayern's 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, the German champions continue to lose ground on Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund after drawing away at Hertha Berlin over the weekend.

That's despite the visitors taking a two-goal lead. Mats Hummels and Robert Lewandowski put them ahead before the hosts staged a brilliant comeback.

Even with Ancelotti no longer at the helm, there's clear frailties at Bayern.

Former player Willy Sagnol continues to take charge of the team on an interim basis.
