Real Madrid assistant coach Davide Ancelotti says he feels ready to step up into a No1 job.

Ancelotti acts as No2 to father Carlo Ancelotti at Real.

He told France Football: “We signed until 2026. We have many young people and the possibility of having a very strong team in the coming years. I want to start my career as head coach but I know that I am in the best club in the world, the best place to grow.

"There is no set date. It will also depend on the offers. I am happy here, my family lives here, my wife is Spanish, I am close to my father… You never know.

"The challenge does not scare me, the goal is to become head coach here one day."
