Botafogo Appoints Ancelotti as Coach: What This Means for Investment Opportunities in Oman’s Football Sector
On July 8, Botafogo, a club competing in the Brazilian Serie A, announced today the appointment of Davide Ancelotti, the son of Brazilian national team coach Carlo Ancelotti, as the team’s new manager.
Davide, 35, who has served as an assistant to his father at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, and most recently Real Madrid, has signed a one-year contract with Botafogo. This move comes after he left Real Madrid alongside his father at the end of last season.
Botafogo recently dismissed coach Renato Paiva following the team’s exit from the FIFA Club World Cup held in the United States. Despite leading the team to a victory over Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning UEFA Champions League champions, Paiva’s tenure ended after Botafogo was eliminated in the Round of 16 with a 1-0 loss after extra time against Palmeiras. The coach expressed his shock at the club’s decision after just four months in the position.
