A new job offer for Davide Ancelotti! Ex-Real Madrid assistant may step out of his dad's shadow with first head coach role with Spanish club set to open talks

According to a report by Sky Sport, Spanish second division side Deportivo La Coruna are eyeing a move for Carlo Ancelotti’s son, Davide, as their new manager. After assessing various options, the Spanish side, which ended 15th last season, have identified the 35-year-old as their key managerial target, and negotiations are expected to start soon.

Ancelotti has been working for a long time, mainly as an assistant to his father at Real Madrid, Napoli, Bayern Munich, and Everton. However, he is yet to work as a manager. Over the past weeks, he was linked with Scottish side Rangers, but they ultimately went on to sign former Southampton boss Russell Martin. If Davide pens a deal with Deportivo, this will be his first managerial role.

Ancelotti started his coaching career as a fitness coach at Paris Saint-Germain in 2012 after retiring from the sport in 2009. He worked in a similar role at Madridtoo, in between July 2013 and May 2015.

The former Los Blancos assistant manager will be eyeing his first major leadership role if Deportivo manage to get the deal done.
