What Davide Ancelotti Really Thinks About Rangers Amid 49ers Takeover as Manager Talks Advance
Rangers are actively seeking a new manager as the American investment group 49ers Enterprises moves closer to finalizing their takeover of the club. One of the front-runners for the managerial role is Davide Ancelotti, currently an assistant coach at Real Madrid and son of legendary manager Carlo Ancelotti. Alongside familiar names like Steven Gerrard, Russell Martin, Sean Dyche, Rob Edwards, and Gary O’Neil, Ancelotti is being seriously considered for the Ibrox hotseat.
Although recent reports from Spain suggested that Ancelotti was on the verge of signing with Rangers, these claims have been contested by insiders. According to Rangers Review, while no deal has been sealed yet, Ancelotti remains very interested and positive about the project, particularly with the 49ers’ ambitious takeover. Discussions between the club and Ancelotti are ongoing, with further talks already scheduled.
The future appointment will depend heavily on key figures within Rangers’ new structure, including sporting director Kevin Thelwell, CEO Patrick Stewart, and Gretar Steinsson from the 49ers ownership group. They will decide whether to hand Ancelotti the reins for the upcoming season amid interest from other clubs and leagues vying for his services.
Davide Ancelotti’s departure from Real Madrid is now confirmed, as he prepares to start his own managerial career independently of his father, who is set to take charge of Brazil’s national team after a highly successful tenure at the Bernabeu. The Ancelottis have shared coaching stints at top clubs like PSG, Napoli, Everton, and Real Madrid.
In his farewell, Carlo Ancelotti expressed deep gratitude for his time at Real Madrid, highlighting the emotional and professional milestones achieved during his tenure. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez praised Carlo’s contributions to the club’s success and values, underscoring the legacy he leaves behind.
Meanwhile, the Rangers project under 49ers Enterprises promises a fresh start, but the choice of manager will be pivotal. If Ancelotti is appointed, his relative inexperience as a head coach poses risks, but his fresh ideas and ties to elite football circles could be exactly what the club needs to challenge rivals and reclaim glory.
