Davide Ancelotti to Rangers doubt dismissed amid Brazil talk

Davide Ancelotti has not ruled himself out of the running to become the next Rangers manager.

The Rangers Review reports that the Italian, 35, is considering his options amid interest from the Ibrox club.

This morning, reports in Brazil claimed that Davide had opted against making a move into management, instead deciding he would join his dad Carlo's coaching staff with the Brazilian national team until after the 2026 World Cup.

While he will join his father in charge of Brazil for their matches against Ecuador and Paraguay next month, it's believed Ancelotti Jnr. is still open to the idea of going it alone this summer.

The 35-year-old has worked with the legendary boss at Everton, Napoli, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

The final La Liga fixtures of the season will bring an end to Ancelotti’s glittering career at the Bernabeu and see him move into international management.

And that could still pave the way for his son to arrive in Glasgow and be tasked with delivering the Premiership title next term.

It is believed that Davide’s preference for the new campaign is to start his managerial career in his own right. 

If the right offer does not land on the table this summer, then Davide could yet opt to join Carlo in charge of the five-time World Champions. But Rangers remain firmly in the hunt to land Ancelotti this summer should all parties agree on a move that would see the highly-regarded coach lead the club in a new era as the Ibrox takeover deal edges closer.
