What happens when the apprentice finally steps into the light? For years, Davide Ancelotti has been known as the calm, analytical right-hand man to his legendary father, Carlo Ancelotti. But now, the son is ready to write his own legacy.
And it might just begin in Glasgow.
👔 A New Boss at Ibrox?
According to multiple sources, Rangers FC is in advanced talks with Davide Ancelotti to take over as their next head coach. This wouldn’t be just another appointment—it could be a defining moment for both club and coach.
Davide has long been more than “Carlo’s son.” He's coached at some of the biggest clubs in the world—Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton—and players often speak highly of his tactical brain and calm leadership style.
With Rangers looking to bounce back after a turbulent season, a young, modern manager with elite European experience could be exactly what the club needs.
🔄 Timing is Everything
Sources suggest that the deal is likely to go through after Brazil’s June World Cup qualifiers, where Davide is expected to assist his father as Carlo begins his journey as Brazil’s head coach.
Once those two matches are done, Davide will reportedly bring Francesco Mauri, another respected member of Real Madrid’s technical team, as his assistant at Rangers.
Talk about hitting the ground running.
🧠 Why Rangers?
Rangers’ new investor-backed vision isn’t just about buying players—it’s about building a future. Davide, at just 35 years old, represents the ideal blend of youth, football IQ, and exposure to winning cultures. His arrival could signal a modern rebuild, with focus on possession play, tactical discipline, and youth development.
And for Davide? This is a chance to emerge from the towering shadow of one of football’s greatest managers and prove he’s not just the product of a famous surname—but a force of his own.
