Alious Davide Ancelotti Eyes Rangers Hotseat Amid Brazil Move and Potential Kaká Reunion
Davide Ancelotti, the long-serving assistant to his father Carlo Ancelotti at elite European clubs, has emerged as a leading contender for the vacant Rangers managerial post.
With Carlo confirmed to take charge of the Brazil national team following the current season, Davide is widely expected to step out of his father’s shadow and launch his own managerial career.
Having earned his UEFA Pro Licence in 2023, Davide brings a decade of top-level experience from stints at Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, and Real Madrid.
Sources indicate he intends to leave the Spanish giants at the end of the season, coinciding with Carlo’s official appointment as Brazil’s new head coach.
However, he may temporarily remain involved with the Brazilian national setup to assist during their June international fixtures against Ecuador and Paraguay.
Adding to the intrigue, legendary Brazilian playmaker Kaká has been linked to a future role within Brazil’s coaching staff.
Reports claim the Brazilian FA has discussed the prospect of the former Ballon d’Or winner joining Carlo Ancelotti’s backroom team in 2024, alongside fellow icon Cafu.
Should Davide accept the Rangers job, it would mark his first foray into a senior management role. His candidacy brings both pedigree and a wealth of continental knowledge, bolstered by the possibility of future links with high-profile names like Kaká.
Rangers, still deep in their managerial search, are weighing several options, including a potential return for Steven Gerrard, former Southampton manager Russell Martin, and younger coaches like Ryan Mason and Rob Edwards.
As decisions loom for both Ancelottis, the football world is closely monitoring Davide’s next steps—whether at Ibrox, with Brazil, or in a unique role combining both.
