Serie A giants set sights on Carlo Ancelotti for next season’s managerial role | OneFootball

Serie A club AS Roma are considering Carlo Ancelotti, the current Real Madrid manager, as one of their top candidates to take over the team’s managerial role next season, claims a report from Sky Italia (h/t Fichajes).

This move comes at a crucial time as Claudio Ranieri is expected to leave the coaching position at the end of the current campaign and transition into an executive role within the club.

Ancelotti’s wealth of experience and impressive coaching record make him an ideal fit for Roma.

He has won titles in some of Europe’s toughest leagues, demonstrating his ability to manage at the highest level. This background aligns with Roma’s ambition to build a successful long-term project.

Furthermore, Ancelotti’s Italian roots are also a significant factor in his appeal, as the club’s owners, the Friedkin family, aim to bring in an Italian coach who can connect with the fans and reinvigorate the team’s competitiveness in Serie A and Europe.

However, Ancelotti is not the only option being considered by Roma. Other potential candidates include Massimiliano Allegri and Vincenzo Montella, both of whom have experience in Italian football.

Despite these alternatives, Ancelotti’s reputation and accomplishments could be a deciding factor for the club when it comes to making their final decision.

As Roma prepare for the departure of Ranieri, they are keen to make a statement by hiring a prestigious coach who can not only improve the team’s performance on the pitch but also boost the morale of their supporters.

By targeting Ancelotti, Roma are showing their intent to strengthen their standing both in Italy and in European competitions.

Meanwhile, within Real Madrid, it is widely believed that this will be Ancelotti’s final season at the club. In light of this, the club is reportedly eyeing former player Xabi Alonso, now the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, as a potential successor to Ancelotti.
