The future of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid seems to be at a crossroads. According to recent reports, the chances of the Italian coach continuing on the Madrid bench are increasingly diminishing. Eduardo Inda claims that the relationship between the club and Ancelotti is tense and that the desire for him to stay is nonexistent.
Change of Cycle at Real Madrid?
Real Madrid is going through a crucial moment. With the end of the season just around the corner, the club's leaders are reportedly considering significant changes. One of them could be the bench, as Ancelotti sees his departure as imminent, especially due to the offer from Brazil for after the 2026 World Cup.
Since the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, the relationship between Ancelotti and the club seems to have cooled. According to Inda, "at Real Madrid, there is less and less desire for him to stay," a comment that suggests the club's intentions to renew the Italian are minimal. Although the relationship between Florentino Pérez and the coach has always been good, it seems that the prospects for Ancelotti's future are not as optimistic as before.
What About Xabi Alonso?
The name that is strongly rumored to replace Ancelotti is Xabi Alonso. According to some sources, the former Madrid player is gaining ground as a possible new coach for Real Madrid.
Alonso has proven his worth on the bench, taking Bayer Leverkusen to a high competitive level. Xabi Alonso's project is well-regarded by the club, which believes he has the right profile to lead such a big team.
Ancelotti and His Future
Despite the uncertainty, Carlo Ancelotti remains focused on his work. Despite the difficulties, Ancelotti remains firm in his goal of taking the team to the top. With options in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League, Ancelotti continues to trust his footballers and the team's ability to compete for titles.
The coach, although aware of the rumors surrounding his future, remains committed to the team. According to the latest statements, Ancelotti is willing to continue working until the end of the season and then make a decision. Meanwhile, the club is considering offering him another role within the institution, where he could remain linked to Real Madrid in some capacity, although not as a coach.
