BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti will donate 5,000 euros (4,244 pounds) to charity after making an obscene gesture to Hertha Berlin fans after their 1-1 draw on Saturday, the German football association (DFB) said on Tuesday.

The Italian had raised his middle finger after leaving the pitch at the end of the game and later said he had done it because he had been spat on by the home fans.
