The recent loss of Real Madrid to Atletico Madrid has reignited speculation regarding the professional prospects of Carlo Ancelotti. In the Spanish capital, it is uncommon for defeats to be accepted gracefully.
The administration at Valdebebas has undertaken the task of identifying certain fundamental ‘sins’ that the manager committed during the game, which ultimately resulted in the unfavorable outcome.
Undoubtedly, discussions regarding a potential successor are increasingly prominent, particularly in light of Ancelotti’s contract, which is scheduled to conclude in 2024.
Real Madrid has identified their primary target.
Based on information obtained from Radio MARCA (h/t Madrid Xtra), it can be inferred that Real Madrid has progressed beyond the phase of mere conjecture.
Xabi Alonso has been selected as the prospective manager for the first team in the upcoming summer. There is an absence of doubt or alternative possibilities.
The individual revered as a prominent figure in the club has commenced their tenure in top-tier management with remarkable success. Assuming the managerial position at Bayer Leverkusen in 2022, he has significantly contributed to the team’s unprecedented progress across various domains.
Currently, Leverkusen occupies the second position in the league standings, having achieved four victories out of five matches this season. During that time period, a total of 17 goals were scored by the team, while only six goals were conceded. Moreover, they exhibit an average scoring rate of 1.8 points per game under his leadership.
There is significant interest from various clubs in the acquisition of Alonso.
Although Real Madrid has been impressed by Alonso’s performance thus far, there are other clubs also competing to secure his signature.
Earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano reported that several prominent European teams are actively seeking to acquire him.
Bayern Munich and Liverpool are prominent football clubs that share a similar stature with Real Madrid, making them desirable choices for the latter’s ambitious pursuits.
However, it is reasonable to expect that additional clubs will participate in the competition as the 2023-24 campaign progresses.
Consequently, the onus falls upon the prominent Spanish football clubs to resolve the ambiguity surrounding Carlo Ancelotti’s prospects.
In the event that the club decides not to retain his services, it has been reported that the Brazilian national team has expressed interest in securing his services during the upcoming summer. A prompt decision is imperative, as it is crucial for Los Blancos to prevent the loss of their tactician to the increasing competition.
