Ancelotti Joins Lille in Two-Year Deal
Davide Ancelotti has finalized a two-year contract with French club, Lille, marking his return to management. The 36-year-old’s move follows a successful six-month stint as head coach of Brazilian side, Botafogo, and signals his second term as head coach. The announcement comes with a key outstanding question: Ancelotti’s future involvement with his father, Carlo Ancelotti’s, coaching staff in Brazil.
Lille has yet to confirm whether Davide Ancelotti will remain with his father’s team through the upcoming World Cup, scheduled from June 11th to July 19th. Prior to joining Lille, Davide Ancelotti previously served as a youth coach for Milan. He expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity, stating, “I am very proud and happy.
I am honored to represent Lille. It is a serious, ambitious and competitive club that regularly plays European football.”
Lille secured a place in the Champions League for the next season, having finished as champions of Ligue 1. The club anticipates a challenging and competitive environment, reflecting the ambitions of the Ancelotti family’s latest venture.
