Davide Ancelotti is Brazil's assistant manager for the World Cup, with his father, Carlo Ancelotti, the manager
Davide Ancelotti grew up immersed in football in a way few ever have.
Aged six, accompanying his father and then-Parma manager Carlo to the training ground, the first player he remembers meeting was Gianluigi Buffon.
The young boy would take shots against the Italian goalkeeper, who would go on to become one of the greatest in the game.
Turning his head, Davide would see defenders Lilian Thuram and Fabio Cannavaro, still early in their own journeys, honing the habits that would later make them World Cup winners with France and Italy.
