According to reports, Davide Ancelotti will take charge as head coach of a team starting next season. His time as an assistant is coming to an end, and Real Madrid will be his last stop before fully taking on the responsibility of leading a team.

This decision is unrelated to the future of his father, Carlo Ancelotti, or any upcoming choices he may make. Davide believes the time has come to step forward, emerge from his father’s shadow, and embrace the challenge of managing a club. This decision has been made after careful consideration.

Marca reports that the young coach has held talks with Swiss club Basel, but his next destination remains unclear. It is expected to be in one of Europe’s top leagues, as his reputation is not overshadowed by his father’s legacy. His role at Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti, who won the Champions League in 2022 and 2024, has gradually grown, and Davide’s name has attracted interest from top clubs. Some of these clubs have historical ties to his father, both as a player and a manager. This decision will be personal and made in consultation with his agent, David Villa, Spain’s all-time top scorer.

DV7 Management is working hard to shape the future of this young coach, who has been preparing for this moment for some time. Davide graduated in Sports Science at 22 and gained his first professional experience during his father’s tenure at Paris Saint-Germain. Now, the agency is handling significant offers from top clubs. Two years ago, when Davide was less known, Everton approached him, but he rejected the offer, preferring to continue his professional development alongside his father.

The situation has now changed, and his decision will be entirely independent of his father. A few weeks ago, Davide took charge of Real Madrid’s first team in a match against Alavés in Vitoria, securing a 1-0 victory with a goal from Eduardo Camavinga. Alongside his growth in daily team activities, Davide has consistently supported giving opportunities to young players.

This philosophy has led to lengthy discussions with his father. In this regard, Davide has backed academy talent Marco Asensio as a symbol of his commitment to homegrown players, a topic where he and his father have often disagreed. Now, Davide is in the final stages of his role as an assistant at Real Madrid and is in no rush to decide. He is assembling his coaching staff and evaluating offers. His coaching knowledge, fluency in Italian, English, Spanish, and French, and four seasons of experience at a demanding club like Real Madrid are among his strengths. Davide is carefully analyzing and assessing the step that will change his life.
