Goodbye Xabi Alonso, Juanma Rodríguez Says What Many Think: 'It Has to Be Him'

El Chiringuito contributor suggests an unexpected candidate to replace Ancelotti at Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti, current coach of Real Madrid, faces growing criticism for the team's performance. Fans and experts point to a lack of intensity in the game and questionable tactical decisions. These factors have raised doubts about his continuity at the helm of the white team.

If there are no drastic changes, Ancelotti is expected to leave his position this summer. Real Madrid's management would already be looking for a suitable replacement to lead the team. The goal is to find someone who revitalizes the game and restores competitiveness at the highest level.

In this context, many point to Xabi Alonso as Ancelotti's natural successor. The former Madrid player has stood out in his coaching career, especially at Bayer Leverkusen. His knowledge of the club and his game philosophy make him an attractive candidate.

Juanma Rodríguez Prefers an Alternative to Xabi Alonso

However, Juanma Rodríguez, a well-known contributor to El Chiringuito, has proposed a surprising alternative. In a recent intervention, Juanma Rodríguez expressed his opinion on who should be the next coach of Real Madrid. His proposal has sparked debate among fans and the sports press.

Rodríguez stated that, in his opinion, there is a Spanish coach who surpasses all others. He highlighted his ability to get the most out of his players and his tactical skill. According to him, this coach would be an ideal option for Real Madrid.

Although many consider Xabi Alonso the main option, Rodríguez suggests looking further. He proposes considering coaches who, although not as media-friendly, have proven their worth in the Spanish league. His focus is on effectiveness and performance over name.

José Bordalás, Juanma Rodríguez's Choice

The coach Juanma Rodríguez refers to is José Bordalás. Currently at the helm of Getafe, Bordalás has been praised for his work. He has achieved remarkable results with limited resources, standing out for his tactical discipline and motivation.

Juanma Rodríguez commented: "I would like to see Bordalás with a squad like Real Madrid's. Honestly. I think he is the best Spanish coach by far."

This suggestion has caused divided opinions among Madrid fans. Some value Bordalás's experience and character as positive attributes. Others, however, doubt his ability to handle the pressure and expectations at a club of Real Madrid's magnitude.

Florentino Will Have the Final Say

While Real Madrid's management evaluates options, names like Xabi Alonso and José Bordalás are on the table. Each brings a different perspective and a unique approach to the game. The final decision will depend on the vision the club has for its immediate future.

It is evident that Real Madrid is at an important crossroads. The choice of its next coach will be crucial in defining the team's direction in the coming seasons. Fans and analysts will be watching the moves made by management in the coming months.

In conclusion, Juanma Rodríguez's proposal to consider José Bordalás as Ancelotti's successor adds a new dimension to the debate. Although Xabi Alonso remains the favorite, the discussion about the ideal profile to lead Real Madrid is more open than ever.
