From Assistant to Manager?
Real Madrid’s assistant manager Davide Ancelotti, son of renowned coach Carlo Ancelotti, is reportedly catching the eye of French club Stade Reims. Having secured his Uefa Pro License, Ancelotti Junior is poised for a potential leap into his first head coach role, with Reims considering him a suitable candidate to take the reins after their current manager Will Still’s departure.
Champions League Success and a New Challenge
With an impressive track record that includes playing a part in Real Madrid’s recent LaLiga triumph and potentially clinching another Champions League victory, the 34-year-old coach has quickly built a reputation for success. His influence at Madrid has been significant, earning him the moniker of the team’s “bad cop” for his strategic acumen, notably in a pivotal match against Chelsea last season.
Ancelotti’s Coaching Journey
Davide Ancelotti’s coaching experience spans several top European clubs, having served alongside his father at Bayern Munich, Everton, and Napoli. His background includes overseeing training sessions and contributing to tactical planning, skills that could serve him well as he steps into a more prominent leadership role.
Reims’ Search for Leadership
Stade Reims, currently competing in Ligue Un, is actively seeking a conversation with Ancelotti following the Champions League final. The club had also considered Luka Elsner of Le Havre as a potential candidate. Reims’ previous manager, Will Still, has openly expressed his ambitions to one day manage in the Premier League and was linked to Sunderland last December.
The Future for Ancelotti
Should talks with Reims progress, Davide Ancelotti could find himself embarking on a new chapter in his managerial career, stepping out of his father’s shadow to establish his own legacy in the world of football management.
