SunSport told you a couple of weeks ago how he'd emerged as a front runner for the Rangers vacancy.
Davide has been working under his dad Carlo for the past 13 years, spending much of the last decade as his assistant.
He was promoted to the No2 role while at Bayern Munich in 2016 and went on to perform the same role under his legendary father at Napoli, Everton and Real Madrid.
The Ancelottis' four-year stint at the Bernabeu officially came to an end at the weekend just gone.

Carlo immediately flew to Brazil to begin work as the national team's new manager - but Davide was a noticeable absentee from his contingent in Rio de Janeiro.
There were plenty of conflicting reports regarding whether or not Davide was joining his dad in Brazil or not, before Carlo finally confirmed he was NOT there on Monday night.
Speaking at his first press conference as Brazil boss, Carlo said: "Davide is currently in negotiations with a European team, and it didn't seem right to bring him in.
"If he goes to a club, I wish him the best, and if not, he can come back to us."

Reporter Tim Vickery asked Carlo Ancelotti: "Is this his last job as an assistant?"
He replied: "Davide is thinking what to do for the future.
"He's in talks with other clubs to try to be first coach.
"He knows that if he doesn't find an opportunity, he will be here with me."

The identity of any other club in discussions with Ancelotti remains unknown.
He was, however, previously linked with the position at Como.
That was earlier this month when their boss Cesc Fabregas had been heavily linked with the Bayer Leverkusen job.
Ex-Spain star Fabregas has stayed put and that job has gone to Erik ten Hag.

In recent days, however, Serie A giants Roma have been seeking talks with Fabregas over their own managerial vacancy.
They have been rebuffed to this point.
