Italian club Pisa is close to dismissing its coach Alberto Gilardino amid a decline in results this season, with the name of David Ancelotti, son of the famous coach Carlo Ancelotti, being proposed as a potential candidate to take over the technical leadership, according to the newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport."

Pisa, newly promoted to the Italian Serie A, is experiencing a difficult season, having achieved only one win, and currently occupies the nineteenth position in the league standings after recording 8 draws and 7 losses. The newspaper noted that Stefano Mauri's late goal against Cagliari in the last round spared the team from another defeat and temporarily postponed the sacking decision.

According to the same source, Gilardino's future is now dependent on the result of the upcoming match against Juventus at Pisa's home stadium, where it is expected that he will be dismissed if the team loses.

In this context, the name of David Ancelotti emerges as a strongly considered option, especially after his recent departure from coaching the Brazilian club Botafogo following his first experience as a head coach. Pisa's management believes that hiring a new coach, alongside expected reinforcements in the winter transfer market, may be necessary to escape the relegation zone, knowing that the team is only three points away from the safety zone.
