President of Real Madrid Florentino Pérez has made a difficult but necessary decision for the future of the club. After several weeks of poor results this season, Carlo Ancelotti's future at the helm of the team has been seriously at risk.
Although the Italian coach has been a key figure in recent years, it seems that Real Madrid needs a change of direction. Pérez already has a clear idea of who will be his successor.
Ancelotti under the Microscope
Carlo Ancelotti has always been a respected figure in the world of soccer. He's won important titles, including the historic La Decimocuarta in the Champions League. He's managed to keep the team competitive during his tenure.
However, recent results have cast doubts on his ability to continue leading Real Madrid. In recent weeks, the team has shown a series of ups and downs, with unexpected defeats both in the league and in European competitions. Fans and the press are beginning to question the coach's tactical decisions. The pressure on Ancelotti is increasing.
Despite recent successes, team dynamics no longer seems to be the same. Some players have shown signs of wear and tear. In addition, the lack of renewal in the tactical approach is evident. That's why Florentino Pérez, always keeping an eye on world soccer, has decided to intervene before the club loses more ground to its rivals.
The Need for Change
Real Madrid needs a new boost. With a squad full of talent, the club can't afford to fall behind in the fight for the league and international titles.
After years of success with Ancelotti, the time has come for a change. Florentino Pérez understands that Ancelotti's continuity could jeopardize the team aspirations for the coming years. That's why, with brave decision, he's opted for a change that will mark the future of the club.
The Chosen One: Xabi Alonso
The man chosen to take the lead of the team is Xabi Alonso. The former Real Madrid player has shown at Bayer Leverkusen that he has what it takes to lead a team of Real Madrid's level.
His experience as a player, tactical intelligence and ability to manage squads have earned him critical acclaim and the admiration of many. At Leverkusen he has excelled, placing the team among the best in the Bundesliga and proving his unlimited potential as a coach.
Xabi Alonso has a modern vision of soccer, based on possession, control of the game and balance between the lines. These characteristics fit perfectly with Real Madrid's style of play.
