Ancelotti Part Ways with Botafogo After Brief Tenure

The two entities recently parted ways after Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure at Botafogo lasted only a few months.

Reasons Behind the Split

Ancelotti’s departure marked his inaugural managerial role since serving as an assistant coach at Real Madrid. Reports suggest that the Italian coach based his decision to leave on disagreements concerning staffing decisions.

Staffing Dispute

According to Globoesport, the tension is largely related to fitness coach Luca Guerra. Ancelotti had expressed that he would consider remaining in his position only if the entire coaching staff retained their roles, a request that Botafogo declined.

Future Leadership Options for Botafogo

Currently, Botafogo is exploring discussions with Argentine coach Martin Anselmi to fill the vacancy left by Ancelotti. Anselmi, who parted ways with Porto at the conclusion of the last season, is now available for the position.
