Ancelotti s departure triggers European coach transfer domino effect

With the confirmation of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti leaving Real Madrid and coaching the Brazilian national team, a storm of coach replacement involving multiple European clubs also started.

After An Shuai's last chapter at the Bernabeu officially came to an end, many European giants began to look for new coaches. The most direct impact comes from the changes in An Shuai’s successor, Harvey Alonso.

The first one to be affected was the Bundesliga team Leverkusen. Since Alonso will take over Real Madrid's coaching staff, the pharmaceutical factory must find a new coach to take over. According to German media Bild, former Arsenal midfielder and active Cuomo coach Seske Fabregas has entered the top of Leverkusen's signing list.

This season, Fabregas led the newly promoted team Como to perform well in Serie A and won praise from the industry. Leverkusen management believes he is one of the ideal candidates to replace Alonso.

Once Fabregas accepts Leverkusen's invitation, Serie A team Cuomo will also be forced to start a plan to find a new coach. According to Italian media, they are considering inviting Carlo Ancelotti's son, David Ancelotti, as head coach.

However, at present, the Soviet Super League giant Glasgow Rangers are the closest club to signing David Ancelotti. According to the Guardian, negotiations between the two sides have been basically completed and the appointment is expected to be officially announced within this week.

As Carlo Ancelotti goes to the Brazilian national team, his assistant coaching team at Real Madrid will also be disbanded. It is reported that David will officially join the Wanderers after going to Brazil with his father to assist in preparing for the World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador on June 5 and Paraguay on June 10 to prepare for the preparations for the new season.

If David fails to coach Cuomo, the team will also consider other candidates, including current Real Madrid U19 coach Alvaro Aberoa, or Atletico Madrid U19 coach Fernando Torres.

This "coach change wave" triggered by Ancelotti is quietly rewriting the coaching map of European football.
