Two new names have emerged in Leicester City’s search for a replacement to Enzo Maresca, with former Manchester United manager Solskjaer and Carlo Ancelotti’s son thought to be considered. Two new possibilities have emerged for the Leicester City manager position as the team searches for their next manager. The Sun reports that City has spoken with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and may offer him a return to management. Solskjaer has been out of work since his three-year stint with Manchester United ended in late 2021.
The Norwegian was heavily scrutinized throughout his two full seasons in charge at Old Trafford, although they finished third and second in the Premier League table, and they were a penalty shootout away from winning the Europa League. Before joining City, Solskjaer was connected with the vacant manager role at Turkish giants Besiktas. However, they chose former Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
The second new name is Davide Ancelotti, Carlo Ancelotti’s son and right-hand man at Real Madrid. Ancelotti junior’s reputation has risen in recent years as a result of the tactical work he has done behind the scenes and on the field alongside his father. According to Spanish site Revelo, Davide Ancelotti’s talent has caught the attention of Manchester City and French side Reims, with both teams contacting Real Madrid to inquire about his availability. However, according to reports, they have been turned down, with the 34-year-old eager to spend another year with the Champions League winners.
While Davide Ancelotti had never been the club’s manager before, Enzo Maresca had only managed a few senior games before being promoted. Plus, Davide Ancelotti has some experience working in England, having served as his father’s assistant manager at Everton.
