Davide Ancelotti won't go to Brazil, close to signing as head coach of a major club.

The until-now assistant coach of Real Madrid is willing to take a path separate from his father's

One of the most talked-about changes at Real Madrid in recent times is the departure of Carlo Ancelotti and his entire coaching staff. The Reggiolo coach, accompanied by his trusted trainers, is determined to complete the pre-match dynamics against Real Sociedad... knowing that it is their last match at Santiago Bernabéu.

Real Madrid has decided to call on Xabi Alonso to lead the new sports project, causing the separation of the Ancelottis as we knew them until now. Because Carlo Ancelotti, through official statements, will head to Brazil to become the new coach of the Canarinha.

The information regarding the decision that his son Davide Ancelotti would make, also outside the short-term future of the merengue team, was very confusing. Because he had the opportunity to follow his father during that stage with the South American team. Finally, he would have decided to break away from the Reggiolo coach's guidance and try his luck on his own.

According to sources consulted by Ramón Álvarez de Mon, Davide Ancelotti is very close to becoming the new coach of Glasgow Rangers. The rumors surrounding the team change of the still second Real Madrid coach would materialize very soon, finally providing the Scottish club with a new trainer.

It will be the first major project that Davide Ancelotti takes on from the position of maximum responsibility, away from his father. It is not the first time that Carlo Ancelotti's son has been at the helm of a European elite soccer team. But now he must face that challenge without the "safety net" he has enjoyed over the past four years with his father as the first Real Madrid coach.

This move anticipated by Ramón Álvarez de Mon still lacks official confirmation, but it would be the next logical step for the still second Real Madrid coach. His experience under the tactical command of Carlo Ancelotti, in teams like SSC Napoli, Everton, and Real Madrid itself, is more than enough of a resume to coach solo.

With that separation from the Ancelottis, the composition of the new coaching staffs also remains to be discerned. Because Davide Ancelotti could "claim" some of the trainers and analysts employed alongside his father in this second stage... making the Reggiolo coach have to explore the market to replace those departures.

At the same time, Davide Ancelotti also has the opportunity to form his own coaching staff, a completely renewed circle of trust without clear ties to his father. All those speculations will be definitively settled when the second Real Madrid coach, who is facing his last match as a merengue coach in a few minutes, officially announces his signing with Glasgow Rangers.
