With his father heading to Brazil to take over the national team, Davide is set to carve out his own path, and it may just involve coaching Nigerian Super Eagles stars Cyriel Dessers and Leon Balogun.

Ancelotti tipped for Rangers job

At just 35, Davide Ancelotti has built an enviable coaching CV alongside his father, serving as assistant manager at elite clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Napoli, and Everton.

But now, Ancelotti Junior is ready to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. Reports suggest Davide will accompany his father for Brazil's first two matches before officially kicking off his own managerial career in Scotland.

Rangers, currently under the interim leadership of club legend Barry Ferguson, have been actively seeking a permanent boss since parting ways with Philippe Clement in February, and Davide’s name is quickly rising to the top of that shortlist.

Rangers have increasingly become a home for Nigerian talent, with the latest two being this season’s top scorer, Cyriel Dessers, and centre-back Leon Balogun.

If Davide Ancelotti takes the reins, he could soon be working closely with the Super Eagles stars in Glasgow.

His experience in coaching big personalities and in high-pressure environments could make him an ideal fit at Ibrox, particularly with Rangers looking to build a squad capable of reclaiming domestic dominance and making waves in Europe.
