As each day passes, the list of potential contenders to take over for Carlo Ancelotti as manager of Real Madrid continues to expand. Roberto de Zerbi, Mauricio Pochettino, Zinedine Zidane, and even Lionel Scaloni are now members of the group that was initially comprised of Xabi Alonso, Raul Gonzalez, and Alvaro Arbeloa. This group eventually expanded to include other notable players.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, has been associated with all of the aforementioned names in some form. At the same time, however, there are discussions taking on over the possibility of renewing Ancelotti, and the situation is pretty obviously ambiguous.
A turn of events in the story
According to appearances, the last twenty-four hours have been very important in determining the management destiny of the Merengues. Yesterday, it was rumored that Real Madrid was moving closer to re-signing the Italian mastermind, and that the deal would be finalized by the time Christmas rolled around.
After further investigation, Josep Pedrol, a writer for El Chiringuito, has confirmed that Carlo Ancelotti will, in fact, extend his contract with Real Madrid. It is the administration’s opinion that he is the most qualified individual to move the project ahead since they are pleased with the beginning that he has given to the most recent season.
It goes without saying that this puts an end to any and all speculation over a possible departure from the Brazilian National Team, despite the efforts of the CBF president to persuade the contrary. To put it into perspective, Ancelotti has publicly denied the same thing on several occasions.
An exhilarating beginning
At the beginning of this year, there were rumors that the decision to continue Ancelotti’s tenure would be contingent on Real Madrid’s success in all tournaments throughout this season. According to the sources, the deciding element would be the quantity and quality of the prizes that were brought home.
As of right now, it would seem that the administration of Real Madrid is content with the start that the team has gotten off to and does not feel the need to wait until the conclusion of the season to make a decision. After all, Real Madrid is now tied for first place in La Liga and maintains a commanding lead in their group for the UEFA Champions League.
