Davide looks to be following in his father’s footsteps and has already been assistant manager of prestigious clubs including Napoli, Bayern Munich and currently Real Madrid.

The 34-year-old has already made his managerial debut after leading Napoli in a Serie A match against Roma following Carlo’s suspension and after receiving his UEFA Pro License, he could be open to taking more baby steps in management.
