At the moment, it is unknown what will happen with Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. He has a contract in force until 2026, but many voices claim that he will not continue at the white club next season. Fabrizio Romano has spoken about this, providing the list of candidates to succeed the Italian if he ends up being dismissed. Of candidates, or rather, of a single candidate.
The first on the list, according to Fabrizio Romano, is Xabi Alonso. The man from Tolosa is also the second and third on the same list. This means that, really, he is the only candidate that Real Madrid considers to replace Ancelotti, dismissing the rest of the possibilities in the market.
At one point, Xabi Alonso rejected Bayern because he only thinks about a future coaching Real Madrid. This is what Fabrizio Romano has indicated, assuring that the white club has a plan for him. Now it remains to be seen if his arrival will happen this summer, or if it will be delayed until 2026, when his contract with Leverkusen will end.
Carlo Ancelotti, Sentenced at Real Madrid
The die seems to be cast. Carlo Ancelotti will not continue at the helm of Real Madrid next season. Florentino believes that his cycle has ended. He may end his coaching career as the head of the Brazil national team, and Madrid will start a new five-year cycle with another coach.
To replace him, Madrid has decided on the name of Xabi Alonso, although this season his Bayer Leverkusen has not resembled the successful team of last season. Despite reasonable doubts, the truth is that he is the only candidate considered in the offices of Bernabéu.
The information coming in seems clear. No matter what he may win, Ancelotti will not continue at Real Madrid and his replacement will be Xabi Alonso. The man from Tolosa is eager for this challenge, although it would require paying his special release clause, which would be around 6 million euros.
The decision is made, and barring an unexpected turn, Xabi Alonso will be the new coach of Real Madrid.
