After Real Madrid’s match against Sevilla, a surprising piece of news circulated within the Santiago Bernabéu locker rooms: Davide Ancelotti, Carlo Ancelotti’s son and trusted assistant, could be on the verge of leaving the club at the start of 2025. Highly respected by both players and staff, Davide has received a significant offer to begin his own managerial career.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Davide Ancelotti has been offered the chance to become head coach of AS Roma, a proposal he is seriously considering. Even Carlo Ancelotti, his father, would support his decision to take the next step in his career in Italy. Real Madrid, where Davide enjoys immense respect, is open to him leaving if he chooses to pursue a head coaching role.
Davide’s long-term goal is to become a head coach, and he has no intention of remaining in his father’s shadow forever. Over the years, he has turned down multiple offers, including one from Everton, but Roma’s interest has captured his attention. This opportunity could mark the beginning of his journey as a head coach.
Real Madrid has always welcomed Davide with open arms, and the club would not stand in his way if he chooses to leave for a managerial position. Roma is awaiting his response, which is expected to come soon. Carlo Ancelotti, who is in the final stages of his career, would be pleased for his son to embark on his own coaching path, hoping that Davide will eventually succeed him as one of the top coaches in the world.
Now, Davide must take time to weigh his options. Roma is willing to wait, but he is in no rush to make a decision. A response is not expected until next year, as he carefully considers the benefits and challenges of taking this big step. If he does choose to leave, Carlo will need to find a new assistant at Real Madrid.
