Brazilian club Botafogo announced in an official statement that Davide Ancelotti is no longer the head coach of the first football team, following meetings held on Wednesday evening.

The club also confirmed the departure of fitness coach Luca Gira, along with assistant coaches Luis Tevinet and Andrew Mangan, as part of the changes taking place within the team's technical staff.

Botafogo extends its sincere thanks to Davide Ancelotti for his high professionalism and dedication during his time leading the team, as well as for his loyalty and respect for the values of the Botafogo family, wishing him success and prosperity in his future career.

The club indicated that the new coaching staff for the team will be announced in the near future.

According to the Spanish newspaper "AS," Davide was the one who decided to leave the Brazilian club after assessing the club's situation and the plans that will be implemented in the coming weeks.

The coach will evaluate the option of joining the Brazilian national team during the international break in March alongside his father, or starting a new project as the head of the technical staff at a European club.
