At a time when Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for his departure from Real Madrid, his son Davide does not seem to want to stay in his shadow. The young Italian technician, assistant of his father for almost a decade, is about to take a crucial stage in his career. An opportunity in gold is looming, and except reversal, it should very soon settle down in a new club. The time seems to come for the one that many describe as one of the most promising assistants in Europe to become number one.
Ancelotti Jr, a profile scrutinized throughout Europe
According to several concordant sources, it is the Scottish club of Glasgow Rangers which would hold the rope to welcome the 35 -year -old technician. Nothing has yet been signed, but the discussions are well advanced. Guillem Balague, specialist in European football, confirms:
“He is one of the most coveted assistants to become a principal coach. »» Former coach Steven Gerrard was also surveyed, but Davide Ancelotti would now be the priority of the new American consortium, who is about to take over the club.
Since 2016, Davide has accompanied his father in the biggest clubs on the continent: Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, and of course Real Madrid. But in recent years, it was he who has managed daily training. Specific sweep: “He was dealing with individual, collective, tactical work … he was the real coach on the ground. »» Humble and much appreciated in each locker room where he has passed, Davide is ready to assume the full responsibility of a team.
From Carlo's shadow to his own destiny: Davide changes horizon
An independent trajectory, but faithful to the inheritance
Davide's reputation now goes beyond the simple filial link with Carlo. In addition to the Rangers, Serie A, Liga and even English championship clubs have looked into his case. He had already declined last year from the approaches of Seville and even a joint proposal from Brazil, where Carlo should soon settle. If he chooses Scotland, it will be for an ambitious project, where he can assert himself as a bench pattern.
In his rare speeches, Davide Ancelotti always insists on his desire to learn and adapt, without denying the paternal heritage. “He knows what he is doing. He has been ready for months to jump ”, says Balague. If the contract is signed as planned with the Rangers, it will be the beginning of a new chapter for one of the most promising profiles of its generation, at the crossroads between tradition and modernity.
