Davide Ancelotti signed a two-year contract, Lille said in a statement<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old Ancelotti replaces Bruno G\u00e9n\u00e9sio<\/a> whose contract was not renewed after leading Lille to a third-place finish in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti was assistant to his storied father at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, Real Madrid and then the Brazil national team, including during qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ancelotti left his father\u2019s coaching staff last year for his first full-time coaching job at Botafogo. He was fired<\/a> within five months.<\/p>

Lille is back in the Champions League after impressing in the 2024-25 season, placing seventh in the 36-team standings. Lille then lost in the round of 16 to Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

Under G\u00e9n\u00e9sio, Lille played in the second-tier Europa League this season and lost in the round of 16<\/a> to eventual champion Aston Villa.<\/p>
