Ancelotti's Son Davide Appointed Lille Manager on Two-Year Deal
On Monday, Lille hired Davide Ancelotti as head coach to lead the French club in the Champions League next season. Ancelotti signed a two-year contract, the club announced.
The 36-year-old Ancelotti replaces Bruno, whose contract was not renewed after Lille placed seventh in the 36-team Champions League standings.
Davide previously worked as an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, Real Madrid, and Brazil before leaving Botafogo last year.
Returning to French football, he joins more than 13 years after serving as a fitness coach at Paris Saint-Germain during his father's 18-month spell there.
Under Bruno, the club competed in the Europa League this season, exiting in the round of 16 against Aston Villa. Lille now aims for Champions League success.
