Davide Ancelotti is under serious consideration to be the next Rangers manager.<\/p>\n
The Real Madrid <\/a>assistant coach – and son of legendary boss Carlo – is a major contender to be Philippe Clement’s<\/a> long-term replacement at Ibrox.<\/p>\n Media outlets in Spain reported that Ancelotti Jnr will head to Glasgow in mid-June<\/a> for his first managerial job with Gers.<\/p>\n Record Sport <\/strong>understands club chiefs have made contact with the Italian, with talks still at an early stage and other names also on their radar.<\/p>\n Ibrox sources have claimed there is no leading candidate for the job at this point in their manager search and an appointment isn’t imminent.<\/p>\n But 35-year-old Ancelotti is heavily in the mix, with reports suggesting he’ll bring Real Madrid coach Francesco Mauri as his assistant.<\/p>\n Carlo Ancelotti will leave the Bernabeu to become the Brazil national team coach and his son is now ready to become a manager in his own right after spells under his father at PSG, Napoli, Everton and Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n Rangers are currently subject of an American takeover from 49ers Enterprises<\/a> and US tycoon Andrew Cavenagh.<\/p>\n Along with new sporting director Kevin Thelwell, they’re on the look-out for a new gaffer with club legend Barry Ferguson currently in charge.<\/p>\n That process is now well underway and Ancelotti Jnr is on their list of targets with some bookmakers suspending betting on him ending up at Ibrox.<\/p>\n He could assist dad Carlo with the Brazilian squad for their games on June 6 and 10 – before potentially being unveiled by Rangers.<\/p>\n It would be an ambitious appointment by the club’s new owners but also a risky one given Ancelotti’s lack of managerial experience.<\/p>\n Follow Record Sport<\/strong> on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Rangers<\/a> and Celtic<\/a> pages, and sign up to our newsletters<\/a> to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.<\/p>\n We’re also on WhatsApp where we bring all the latest breaking news and transfer gossip directly to you phone.
