The 36-year-old, son of Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti, will be taking on his second managerial role after a five-month stint serving as coach of Brazilian top-flight side Botafogo last year. 

"LOSC today announced the appointment of Davide Ancelotti as first-team coach. The 36-year-old Italian manager, who has worked with some of the world's biggest clubs and national teams, has signed a two-year contract," read the club statement.

He is currently also serving as an assistant coach for five-time world champions Brazil, joining his father's staff in 2025.
