Carlo Ancelotti has already made a definitive decision: he will leave Real Madrid's bench next summer. Radioestadio Noche on Onda Cero recently reported that the Italian coach will not continue with the white club, despite having an active contract. This decision comes at a time of professional fulfillment for Ancelotti, who claims to be enjoying his second stint with the Madrid team.
However, the coach knows that his continuity depends both on the results and the club's policy. Even with titles on the table, Ancelotti considers that next summer will be the perfect time to close his chapter at Real Madrid.
A Future Outside Spain
The Italian is not considering retirement; instead, he is already thinking about continuing to coach in another country. Although his next destination is not confirmed, everything indicates that he will try his luck in another league to further expand his career. Ancelotti has proven to be an adaptable and successful coach in different countries, and this new stage will be another challenge he will face with his usual professionalism.
Xabi Alonso: the Favorite to Succeed Him
Meanwhile, Florentino Pérez is already making moves to find the next coach for Real Madrid. It seems that Xabi Alonso, current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, is the main candidate to succeed Ancelotti. The former footballer, who already has experience on the benches, has achieved very positive results with the German team and has demonstrated a modern and effective playing philosophy.
Xabi Alonso's return to Real Madrid, this time as a coach, would generate great excitement among both fans and the club. His knowledge of the team and his experience as a white player make him a very attractive option. His leadership and ability to manage locker rooms make him the ideal successor to Ancelotti's legacy.
A Necessary Change for Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti's departure will mark the end of an era full of successes and memorable moments for Real Madrid. However, it also opens the door to a renewal that could be key to the club's future. The arrival of Xabi Alonso, with fresh ideas and a deep understanding of modern football, could be the boost the team needs to face the challenges of the upcoming seasons.
Although there is still a season left and the objectives are not defined, everything indicates that the change of bench will be crucial this summer. Carlo Ancelotti, with his decision to leave, not only leaves a legacy but also does Florentino Pérez the favor of the year by facilitating the transition to a new stage.
