SEO-Optimized Story Rewrite (By SpringnewsNG Media Limited, July 8, 2025):
Former Real Madrid assistant coach Davide Ancelotti has officially been appointed the new manager of Brazilian club Botafogo, marking the beginning of his career as a head coach.
Ancelotti, who worked closely with his father Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, steps into the spotlight following their joint departure from the Spanish giants at the end of the 2024/2025 season. While the senior Ancelotti has assumed his new role as head coach of the Brazil national team, Davide has taken the reins at Botafogo, commonly known as Fogão.
According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Davide was previously linked with a move to Scottish side Rangers but ultimately chose to start his managerial journey in Brazil. This will be his first time leading a senior team after years of experience as an assistant at top European clubs.
In a separate development, Italian Serie A side Napoli has reportedly rejected a €60 million offer from Turkish giants Galatasaray for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
While Galatasaray has already reached a personal agreement with Osimhen, reports indicate that the club is preparing to submit an improved offer in hopes of securing the 25-year-old forward, who remains one of the most sought-after talents in the transfer market.
Osimhen, who had a standout season despite Napoli’s challenges, is being closely watched by top European clubs, but Napoli has remained firm on its valuation of the Nigerian international.
