Ancelotti must explain gesture

Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti has been asked to explain how he lost his calm and stuck a finger up at a group of Hertha Berlin fans at the weekend.

The German Football Federation have asked the usually affable Ancelotti to explain his behaviour in an exchange with Hertha fans whilst going down the tunnel.

"Ancelotti has been asked to submit a statement on the events that transpired after FC Bayern's match at Hertha Berlin on Saturday," a Bayern Munich statement said Monday.
