Brazilian club Botafogo has hired the son of Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti as its new manager.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old Davide Ancelotti was handed a contract through 2026 to take up his first full-time coaching job after Botafogo owner John Textor fired Renato Paiva following the team\u2019s round-of-16 elimination at the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n
The Italian has worked for more than a decade alongside his father in different roles at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, and Real Madrid. He is also part of Ancelotti’s staff at Brazil.<\/p>\n
Botafogo is the defending Brazilian and Copa Libertadores champion. Textor recently said he wanted his team to adopt a more attacking style of play.<\/p>\n
Brazil’s soccer confederation said in a statement that Davide Ancelotti’s deal with Botafogo allows him to continue working with the national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n
The younger Ancelotti is expected to make his debut on Saturday against Vasco da Gama in a Brazilian league match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
