Carlo Ancelotti Confirms Davide Rangers Talks With European Admission | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti’s recent comments about his son Davide have added a fresh layer of intrigue to Rangers’ ongoing managerial search. The Italian legend confirmed,

Given the timing and the intense speculation surrounding Ibrox, it’s hard not to connect the dots.

Rangers are still in the process of appointing a new permanent manager after Barry Ferguson’s short-term spell as interim boss. While names like Kevin Muscat and Brian Priske have been heavily linked, Davide Ancelotti’s emergence as a surprise contender has turned heads. He’s been operating at the highest level for years now, assisting his father at Real Madrid, Napoli, Everton, and Bayern. Yet the suggestion of stepping into his first solo job at a club like Rangers carries weight — and genuine intrigue.

Ancelotti’s quote didn’t name the club directly, but the language was telling. The idea that it “didn’t seem right” to bring Davide into the Brazil setup if he’s on the verge of a move suggests the negotiations are serious. And with Rangers currently seeking a manager, and with the club keen to make a bold, forward-thinking appointment, Davide fits the mould — young, experienced in elite environments, and carrying a name that would command instant respect in the dressing room.

Some fans may be cautious about the idea of someone with no previous managerial experience taking over such a high-pressure role, especially given Rangers’ need to reclaim domestic dominance. But others will see the potential — a fresh tactical mind, modern football education, and a contact book that could bring a new dimension to Ibrox.

The door is clearly open for Davide to return to Brazil if things don’t materialise, but that feels like a fallback option. Carlo’s tone suggests he genuinely wants to see his son take the next step. Whether that’s in Glasgow remains to be seen, but with the spotlight now firmly on this story, Rangers supporters will be watching closely to see whether the Ancelotti name could soon be making headlines in Govan.
