Davide Ancelotti will not be taking over at Glasgow Rangers. Despite being a strong contender to replace Barry Ferguson, the 35-year-old coach has chosen a different path—joining his father, Carlo Ancelotti, with the Brazil national team.
According to Onda Cero, Davide will continue in his role as assistant coach, this time on the international stage, as part of the Seleção’s technical staff through the 2026 World Cup.
A Step Closer to Independence
While this decision ends speculation about a managerial debut at Rangers—where he was reportedly in competition with Steven Gerrard—it marks an important milestone in Davide’s coaching journey. Known for his discipline, tactical acumen, and multilingual ability, he remains highly regarded in football circles.
For now, it’s not his time to lead—but this Brazilian chapter may prepare him for that leap sooner than later.
One to watch.
