Real Madrid has reportedly initiated preliminary discussions with Xabi Alonso’s representatives, fueling speculation about a potential managerial change at the Santiago Bernabéu. The former Los Blancos midfielder has been making headlines with his impressive work at Bayer Leverkusen, positioning him as a strong candidate for the prestigious role.
Ancelotti’s Future Hinges on Season Performance
Despite these talks, Carlo Ancelotti’s future remains uncertain and largely dependent on Real Madrid’s success this season. If the veteran Italian coach secures either the La Liga title or the UEFA Champions League trophy, his position at the club could be reinforced. Under contract until 2026, Ancelotti has consistently voiced his commitment to Real Madrid, even beyond his tenure as head coach.
Florentino Pérez’s Strategic Planning
Club president Florentino Pérez is known for his calculated decision-making. According to inside sources, Pérez could be orchestrating a smooth managerial transition that honors Ancelotti’s legacy. “Carlo has expressed his wish to remain with the club in some capacity after his coaching career,” a source revealed. If Pérez offers him a suitable role within the organization, Ancelotti is expected to accept, potentially paving the way for Alonso’s arrival.
Why Xabi Alonso?
Xabi Alonso has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising young managers, showcasing tactical brilliance and leadership at Bayer Leverkusen. His deep understanding of Real Madrid’s culture and his modern approach to the game make him an attractive candidate. However, the club’s final decision will depend on how the current season unfolds and whether Ancelotti can deliver silverware.
