Davide Ancelotti has been approached regarding the vacant managerial role at Rangers, though the club has yet to determine a preferred candidate. The Scottish Premiership side remains in the early phase of its selection process, and it is understood that no individual is currently leading the race.
According to Spanish outlet Marca, the 35-year-old assistant coach at Real Madrid has attracted interest from 49ers Enterprises, who are engaged in talks to assume control of the Ibrox club. Despite this, sources suggest that Rangers are still exploring various possibilities and have not confirmed any decisions.
Ancelotti, who is set to join the Brazil national team staff alongside his father Carlo Ancelotti, is also being considered by Italian side Como. His coaching career has seen him work under his father at clubs such as Bayern Munich, Napoli, and Everton. As a player, he had spells at AC Milan and Borgomanero.
Real Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has guided teams to five Champions League titles, will leave his role at the end of the month to take charge of the Brazilian national team. In the meantime, Davide will assist him in Brazil at the beginning of June, with his future dependent on further developments.
Ferguson hopes for clarity on future at Ibrox
Barry Ferguson remains in temporary charge of Rangers, having led the team since February following the departure of Philippe Clement. He has overseen 13 matches and is set to manage the side’s final two fixtures of the season, starting with Dundee United at Ibrox on Wednesday and ending with a visit to Hibernian on Saturday.
The 45-year-old says he expects further developments in the coming days regarding his own position, though he declined to share details publicly. Ferguson emphasized the importance of resolving the managerial situation soon, pointing to upcoming preparations for pre-season and decisions around player contracts and loans.
He expressed belief in his own capabilities and admitted he would be disappointed not to be appointed on a permanent basis. While acknowledging that results have not always met his expectations, Ferguson believes he has made a positive impact and could bring lasting success to the club with proper support.
Despite the uncertainty, he pledged to support whoever is chosen to lead the team, even if it is not him. Ferguson said he would be disappointed but remains committed to the club’s future and emphasized the need for unified backing to restore success at Rangers.
