Davide Ancelotti Changes Plans, Already Knows What to Do if His Father Signs with Brazil

The decision of Real Madrid's assistant coach also sparks many debates

The Debate About Carlo Ancelotti's Future as Real Madrid's Coach Doesn't Only Affect the Reggiolo Manager. While it's true that the main protagonist of these conversations, as well as his succession by Xabi Alonso, is the Italian strategist himself... but it also involves a significant part of the coaching staff currently on the home bench at Santiago Bernabéu.

One of the Most Notable Names is Davide Ancelotti. Real Madrid's assistant coach faces a significant dilemma to solve given his position alongside his father. Especially if Carlo Ancelotti finally accepts the offer to become the new coach of Brazil, a job that the Italian coach doesn't like much.

According to information published by "Relevo," Davide Ancelotti would have serious "doubts" about the viability of the Canarinha project that his father, Carlo Ancelotti, would be about to take on very soon. That's why he also considers finally separating from the Reggiolo manager's coaching staff and embarking on a solo career.

It's Not Due to a Lack of Offers, Reveals the Mentioned Digital Media. Approaches from several major teams in the Old Continent are on the table, but none of these proposals seem to have convinced Davide Ancelotti himself. Carlo Ancelotti's "second-in-command" would like to start his solo career already but can't find the ideal place to do so.

Forging His Own Path

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti Would Like to Have His Son in His Coaching Staff Until the End of His Hypothetical Tenure in Brazil: the 2026 United States World Cup. Again, doubts about the viability of the project in Brazil make Davide distance himself from that possibility... when barely a month would remain for the Italian coaches to be removed from the Madrid bench.

Davide Ancelotti would only stay by his father's side if the Reggiolo manager accepts to join any other club. If the current Real Madrid coach decides to swap the Spanish capital for the tactical command of the Verdeamarelo national team, he will do so without his son's tactical support.

Carlo Ancelotti's Conviction to Accept Brazil's Offer "pushes" Davide Ancelotti more and more to officially start his solo career as a head coach. The preparation he has gained over the last seven years, as his father's assistant coach, seems to be more than enough to spark some offers from several clubs in Europe.

These approaches still haven't managed to offer conditions that appeal to Real Madrid's assistant coach. That's why the doubt also persists, day after day, about the future of a Davide Ancelotti who has shown to have his own criteria, clearly differentiated from his father's.
