The manager of Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso, who also happens to be one of the possibilities Real Madrid is looking at to replace Carlo Ancelotti, has said that the Italian manager is the master of all coaches and added that when it comes to player management, he is the greatest. Real Madrid are currently looking at Alonso as one of the options to replace Carlo Ancelotti.
The situation of Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid is now one of the most talked about subjects in Madrid, which is the capital of Spain. The master strategist, who is 64 years old and has a contract that is set to expire at the conclusion of the current season, but there has been no significant progress made in that respect.
In the meanwhile, Alonso, who is now the leading contender to succeed Ancelotti, was recently questioned about his thoughts on the Italian coach, and in response, he offered the following statement:
Carlo Ancelotti is regarded as the best coach in the world. “When it comes to player management, he is a master, and when you talk about the way he wants to persuade the players or how to make the players have a good relationship with you, Ancelotti is the best coach at that,” he was cited as saying by AS. “In terms of player management, he is a master.”
An extended deal has been made available to Ancelotti by Real Madrid.
A few days ago, we learned that Real Madrid had extended an offer of a new contract to Ancelotti, but that the Italian did not seem to enjoy the parameters that were included in the offer.
Ancelotti is concerned that if there is a drop in performance, he might be fired within months despite Madrid’s offering him a one-year extension as the club from the capital city’s standard practice, which the team from Madrid offered him.
At the same time, he is conscious of the fact that if the team continues to achieve success, he may be able to finish the remainder of his coaching career at Madrid.
On the other hand, there are rumors that he is considering taking the offer that he has received from the Brazil national team. The Italian has been presented with the opportunity to lead the squad in both the next FIFA World Cup as well as the Copa America, but the duration of that offer is presently uncertain.
What other options does Madrid have except Ancelotti?
Real Madrid has compiled a shortlist of potential signings, and Alonso is now at the top of the list, but another player, Roberto De Zerbi of Brighton & Hove Albion, is also on the table.
Leverkusen will not be an obstacle for Alonso to go to Real Madrid if he is ready to do so, as was said by the club CEO earlier in the conversation. However, nothing big has materialized so far in this area.
“We won’t coerce someone into staying here if they don’t want to be here,” the leader said. According to Fernando Carro, the CEO of Leverkusen, the team’s primary purpose is to “make him feel so happy and so good with us that he really only wants to stay.”
