Like father, like son! Davide Ancelotti, son of Real Madrid boss Carlo, 'is set to land his FIRST managerial job at FC Basel'... with the Swiss side making the up-and-coming coach their 'top target'

Carlo Ancelotti's son Davide is reportedly close to landing his first managerial job.

The 33-year-old, who currently works for his dad as part of Real Madrid's coaching staff, is the 'leading candidate' to take over at FC Basel for next season, report Marca.

The Spanish newspaper claims that while he is under contract with Real Madrid for one more season, it has been decided he is going to go out on his own and take his first head coach role.

This would be the first time he has been in a top job, having previously worked as an assistant to his dad at Napoli, Everton, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
