Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, and club president, Florentino Pérez, are reportedly anticipating the unexpected departure of a key team member.
According to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Davide Ancelotti, the assistant coach on Real Madrid’s technical staff, has emerged as a candidate to take over as head coach of Roma.
The report highlighted Davide’s crucial role within the technical staff led by his father, Carlo Ancelotti. However, Carlo appears open to the possibility of his son’s departure and would reportedly be pleased to see him take on the role of Roma’s head coach.
The Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport reported that Real Madrid officials hold Davide Ancelotti in high regard for his tactical acumen and coaching abilities. Florentino Pérez and his close associates have expressed their admiration for Davide’s skills and are unlikely to stand in the way of his departure.
Pérez is said to wish Davide the best of luck in advancing his coaching career, acknowledging that while his departure would be a significant loss for the club, it is a natural step for his professional development.
Davide is highly respected within the Real Madrid squad, with players praising his excellent rapport and leadership qualities in the locker room.
The report also suggests that if Davide Ancelotti takes over as Roma’s head coach, the move is likely to occur next summer. A mid-season departure is considered unlikely, given his current importance to Real Madrid’s technical staff.
Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti remains under contract with Real Madrid until the summer of 2026, continuing to lead the royal club with his trusted team by his side.
