Brazil's Botafogo Fires Carlo Ancelotti's Son From Coaching Position After Frustrating Season

  • On Wednesday, Botafogo fired Davide Ancelotti after meetings earlier in the day, ending his five-month spell as manager.
  • Following a disappointing title defence, Botafogo failed to defend its Copa Libertadores and Brazilian league titles, and was eliminated by Liga de Quito, the club said.
  • Having worked more than a decade alongside his father Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, and Real Madrid, Davide Ancelotti departs with 14 wins, 11 draws, and seven losses at Botafogo.
  • No successor has been named by Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro club, and the sacking intersects with Davide Ancelotti's role on Brazil national team, adding wider implications.
  • Owner John Textor's prior firing of Renato Paiva after the Club World Cup round exit in July frames the recent pattern of swift coaching changes at Botafogo.
