Carlo Ancelotti and his future are the talk of the town. Right now, the only thing that seems clear is that the Italian coach will leave Real Madrid. Beyond that, everything is up in the air after his signing with the Brazilian national team, which seemed all but sealed, fell through in recent days.
An agreement was in place, Ancelotti traveled to London, but ended up changing his mind. According to published reports, the contract was broken when the Italian coach confessed that Real Madrid would not let him leave in June before the Club World Cup. If they did, they would have to pay the amount requested by Ancelotti as severance pay.
Furthermore, everything seems to indicate that behind the Italian coach’s change of heart is a million-dollar offer from Saudi Arabia. There is talk of around $50 million net per season, something that seems impossible to turn down. Carletto’s final decision is not yet known, but his son Davide seems to have made up his mind.
Davide Ancelotti parts ways with his father
In Carlo Ancelotti’s final spell at Real Madrid, his loyal right-hand man has been his son Davide. The pair have formed a formidable partnership on the bench, achieving great success last season but suffering a disastrous campaign this year that has sealed their fate. In fact, it has always been suggested that one of Carletto’s motivations for leaving the club was the lack of continuity for his son.
Whatever the future holds for Carlo Ancelotti on the bench, his son Davide will not be part of it. This is according to the newspaper Marca, which reports that he already has several offers from elite teams on the table and that his agency, headed by David Villa, is already working on the matter.
Everton came knocking on his door two seasons ago, but on that occasion he declined because he wanted to continue learning alongside Carlo Ancelotti. Alongside his father, he has always been a staunch defender of the youth academy, firmly backing Asencio, as well as being key in the decision-making of the Italian coach, who has relied heavily on his son.
Ancelotti’s son joined his father’s staff at Paris Saint-Germain when he was only 23 years old. He started as a physical trainer, but after his time at Bayern Munich, he was promoted to assistant coach. He has spent four seasons at one of the most important clubs in the world and also speaks English, Spanish, French, and Italian. This opens doors for him in all European leagues.
