Ancelotti's Son Takes Charge of Champions League Club

Carlo Ancelotti's son, Davide Ancelotti, has been appointed head coach of Lille. His contract spans two seasons, taking over from Bruno Genesio, who is reportedly a target for Marseille.

“Les Dogues” finished third in Ligue 1, securing their spot in the Champions League.

Thiago Motta was among the names rumored to take the Lille job, but ultimately, the honor went to the younger Ancelotti.

Davide first joined his father's staff at PSG as a fitness coach. He later became his assistant during his stints at Everton (2019–2020) and during his second spell at the helm of Real Madrid (2021–2025). The 36-year-old then took charge of Botafogo, but his tenure there was less impactful.
