Carlo Ancelotti says he does "not think it's right" for son Davide to be with him in Brazil as he is "currently in negotiations with a European team".
On 13 May, BBC Scotland reported Davide had been approached about becoming Rangers manager, but the Ibrox club had not yet established a leading candidate for the job.
Speaking at his Brazil unveiling, Ancelotti did not divulge which club his son was speaking to but confirmed he is not with him at present.
"Davide is currently in negotiations with a European team," the former Real Madrid and AC Milan boss said.
