Despite having
little coaching experience, the 27-year-old has landed the role at the
Bundesliga giants under his father’s stewardship.
Davide
Ancelotti started studying sport science
in Milan after failing to make the grade as a youth player at AC Milan
He later
joined his father at Real Madrid, who Carlo guided to a Champions League
triumph during his two seasons at the club, as a fitness coach ahead of
Ancelotti Snr’s first season in charge.
During his
time in Spain, Davide worked closely with Cristiano Ronaldo and Co – but he
soon departed the Santiago Bernabeu when his father was relieved of his duties
in 2015.
He was
expected to fulfil a similar role as he did at Real but after studying the
German language for eight months, he has now been promoted to assistant coach.
Speaking to
the club’s official YouTube channel, he said: ‘My job at Bayern is to support
the coaches both in training and in pre-match preparations, as well as during
games.
‘On the
training pitch, I explain exercises or just help out with the language. My
father speaks German but doesn’t understand everything yet.
‘I can speak
German well because I’ve been studying the language for eight months. I like
the language – it’s difficult but I find it very interesting.
‘I’m looking
forward to learning many things here as a coach, but also as a person, like a
new culture and a new language.
‘The
atmosphere at Bayern is incredible. You can sense the tradition. Despite being
such a big club, it’s like a family and the atmosphere reflects that.
‘I felt that
way at AC Milan too and it’s very difficult to find something like that.’
