Davide Ancelotti has given Rangers a revealing insight into his management philosophy in his most recent widespread interview – and he reckons taking charge of a club is like “shaping a bonsai tree”.
The Italian coach is now the frontrunner to be the new boss at Ibrox, with him set to leave his role as assistant manager to his legendary father Carlo at Real MadridAncelotti junior is set to take his first steps into management at the age of 35 after spells coaching at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton and Madrid with his dadBut going against the grain does not faze the apprentice as Marca reported Davide wanted Arda Guler in the team more regularly earlier in the season, while father Carlo railed against the notion, much to the chagrin of the Madridistas.
And, in the last major interview he gave, he pinpointed what he would do when he takes charge of his first club
He said: “When you arrive somewhere, the priority is to study the players you have. In fact, it’s a craft, a manual trade. You have to have ideas, but adjust and adjust again. It’s like shaping a bonsai tree.
