Rangers stunner as Romano-endorsed source announces new Ibrox manager | OneFootball

In what might just be the biggest shock in recent Rangers history, Real Madrid’s assistant manager Davide Ancelotti has tonight been strongly linked with the managerial vacancy at Ibrox.

The son of legendary coach Carlo Ancelotti, Davide is currently second in command at the Bernabeu, having helped steer Madrid to multiple Champions League titles. But a stunning post from Madrid Zone, a credible account followed by transfer king Fabrizio Romano and boasting 1.4 million followers, has claimed that the Italian is set to become the new Glasgow Rangers manager.

If true, this is an appointment that dwarfs even Philippe Clement’s arrival back in October last year. Ancelotti, though young at just 34, has an absolutely glittering CV thanks to his work alongside his father at Real Madrid, Everton, Bayern Munich and PSG.

Of course, we reported earlier that Marco Rose had emerged as a leading candidate, but this development blows that one out of the water. It would be a breathtaking appointment that signals serious intent from the Ibrox board.

Davide Ancelotti’s name first surfaced quietly a few weeks ago, but few took it seriously. Now with this reputable source backing the claim, it has caught the attention of supporters everywhere.

Naturally, this will divide the fanbase. Some will question his lack of frontline managerial experience, having never taken charge of a team himself. Others will be hugely excited by the prospect of a man with elite-level football knowledge taking the reins at Ibrox.

It’s a bold move, and one that mirrors what Rangers tried with Michael Beale, though Ancelotti’s pedigree is of a far higher level.

According to Football Insider, Rangers are determined to get this appointment right after a season of chaos, and if Davide Ancelotti truly is the choice, it’s one that will command global headlines.

Make no mistake, this could be a genuine game-changer for Rangers Football Club.
