Lille appoint Davide Ancelotti as their new head coach, with the club announcing the move after Bruno Genesio leaves the role. Multiple outlets report that Ancelotti, who is the son of former and current elite coach Carlo Ancelotti, has been working as an assistant coach with Brazil and will initially remain in that capacity.
BBC Sport says Davide Ancelotti will prepare to serve as an assistant to his father, Carlo Ancelotti, at this summer’s World Cup. Other reports indicate Lille have agreed a two-year contract, but the club’s appointment includes timing constraints: Free Malaysia Today reports he will arrive in northern France only after the World Cup. The Punch adds that Lille did not specify whether he will leave his role in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil staff before the World Cup.
Overall, Lille confirm the appointment of Davide Ancelotti as head coach following Genesio’s departure, while his start date and involvement with Brazil around the World Cup remain key details.
