Davide Ancelotti emerges as top candidate for Real Madrid head coach

Brazil national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti's son, Davide Ancelotti, may take over as the head coach of Spain’s Real Madrid. According to Sport.es, he is likely to replace Xabi Alonso as the team’s manager.

The source suggests that Davide’s departure from Brazilian club Botafogo might be connected to this possibility. Earlier, the media reported that Davide Ancelotti had also attracted interest from Rayo Vallecano, one of the less decorated clubs in La Liga.

Rumors regarding Xabi Alonso's potential dismissal have been circulating in the media for some time. Reports indicate that this might be due to Real Madrid's inconsistent results during the 2025/2026 season, as well as Alonso's reportedly weakening influence in the team's dressing room.

Davide’s father, Carlo Ancelotti, managed Real Madrid from 2013 to 2015 and later from 2021 to 2025, during which he secured numerous trophies with the club. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
