Martín Anselmi, former FC Porto man, officially named new Botafogo boss | OneFootball

Anselmi – whom the 'dragons' dismissed after six months in the position to hire the Italian Francesco Farioli – will take the place of fellow Italian Davide Ancelotti, son of the Brazilian national team coach Carlo Ancelotti, who, due to disagreements with the management, submitted his resignation last week, five months after taking the role.

Martín Anselmi, who will start the pre-season on January 4, was praised by the Rio club for his career, especially for his time at Independiente del Valle, in Ecuador, with which he won the Copa Sudamericana and the Ecuador Cup in 2022, and the following season won the South American Super Cup and the Ecuador Super Cup.

Besides FC Porto and Independiente del Valle, the 40-year-old Argentine coach also managed Cruz Azul, from Mexico, and Unión La Calera, from Chile.

Davide Ancelotti is another coach to leave Botafogo due to disagreements with the club's owner, American businessman John Textor.
