Premier League
Davide Ancelotti could be close to starting his career as a head coach. According to information from journalist Nabil Djellit, Botafogo has set its sights on the current assistant coach of the Brazilian national team to take over the helm after the departure of Renato Paiva.
Carlo Ancelotti's son, who decided to accompany his father in this new phase leading the Brazilian team, has already been present in the team's first two matches: the draw against Ecuador and the victory over Paraguay. However, his continuity in the coaching staff would not be guaranteed if the Rio de Janeiro club manages to convince him to accept his own project.
A very interesting challenge for Davide
Botafogo's interest is not coincidental. After a standout performance in the Club World Cup, where they defeated PSG in the group stage, expectations were high. However, the subsequent elimination against Palmeiras left a bitter taste with the management, who did not hesitate to part ways with Paiva. With the Brasileirao about to resume and the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 around the corner, the club urgently needs a new leader.
The option of having Davide on board represents a risky yet ambitious bet. It would be his first experience leading a team, although his training under one of the most decorated coaches in world football grants him credibility. The challenge is significant: to rebuild a team that has lost key figures like Igor Jesus, now at Nottingham Forest, and to maintain competitiveness on all fronts.
