Davide Ancelotti, currently an assistant to his father, Carlo Ancelotti, in the Brazil national team, has made it clear that his greatest wish is to return to Real Madrid as a coach. In a recent interview on Onda Cero, Ancelotti expressed his desire to "coach Real Madrid 100 percent," emphasizing that his connection to the merengue club is undeniable.
"I don't need to tell Florentino Pérez that my dream is to be the coach of Real Madrid. Everyone knows it," he stated with determination. These words not only reflect his ambition but also the pressure he feels to follow in his father's footsteps at one of the world's biggest clubs.
Recently joining the Brazilian national team, Davide has started studying the local language, acknowledging the importance of communication in his new environment. "When you speak Spanish and Italian, it's easier to understand Portuguese. I'm not bad with languages; I also speak French and German," he commented, hinting at his versatility and preparation.
The young coach described his arrival at the national team as "impactful," highlighting the camaraderie and intensity of the training sessions. "You can feel that they are playing for something bigger. There are many rituals, and everything is more concentrated," he added, suggesting that he is enjoying his new experience.
Additionally, Ancelotti shared his beginnings as a scout, recalling his discovery of Fabián Ruiz in Mairena. "From the very beginning, I knew he was going to make it, and now he is one of the best in the world," he proudly stated.
Regarding his relationship with the current Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso, Ancelotti described him as a "very intelligent player who helped the coaching staff a lot." However, his admiration for the former player does not overshadow the pressure the merengue club feels in this new era.
Meanwhile, Florentino Pérez is in Palm Beach, where he joined the team's concentration ahead of the crucial match against Juventus in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. This match represents a true test for Xabi Alonso's era, who seeks to take Real Madrid to new heights.
The clash between Real Madrid and Juventus promises to be an exciting duel, recalling the history of encounters between both teams. However, the pressure falls on the merengues, who must prove they are ready to face the challenges ahead.
