Leicester City could be on the hunt for a fourth permanent manager in the space of a year.
After Enzo Maresca departed for Chelsea in the summer of 2024, Steve Cooper was given the task of replacing him but was gone by November after a player revolt and failure to gel with the fans.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is the current Leicester manager but it’s been catastrophic to say the least, with Van Nistelrooy amassing less points than Cooper with six extra Premier League games under his belt.
For the first time this season, the Dutchman cast doubt about his Foxes future after seemingly refusing to commit to the job if they are relegated.
If that’s the case it’ll be back to the drawing board and one candidate looked at last season could be the perfect option.
Door could open for Leicester to appoint Davide Ancelotti
Finding a manager who can help guide the Foxes back to the top flight – or consolidate their place in it should they stay up – won’t be an easy task.
Liam Rosenior, Danny Rohl and Russell Martin are just some of the managers who could be appointed by Leicester next season, but they could actually land on their feet as part of a domino effect.
After perennial Champions League winners Real Madrid were battered by Arsenal in the first leg of their quarter final tie, their defence of the trophy is looking ominous and therefore the future of Carlo Ancelotti is bleak.
Madrid don’t take these things lightly and this could result in ‘Don Carlo’ being sacked. With Van Nistelrooy also expected to leave, that paves the way for Davide to come to the King Power Stadium.
He was actually on the shortlist of candidates to join at the start of the season, but turned down the approach, insisting he would only leave his role as assistant manager of Los Blancos if his current boss was to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
Is Davide Ancelotti related to Carlo Ancelotti?
Davide Ancelotti is related to Carlo Ancelotti and is one of two children belonging to the current Real Madrid boss.
Like his father, Davide has had an illustrious career in football and played for AC Milan before a brief loan spell to Borgomanero.
He retired from football aged 20 in 2009 to focus on becoming a manager and has worked as an assistant manager alongside Carlo ever since 2016, having spells at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton and now Madrid.
