Jorge D'Alessandro Offers Himself as Ancelotti's Successor

After what happened, D'Alessandro didn't hold back: "This has exploded, unstoppable. The victim is Real Madrid's fans, because of what their team and the coach, who is a headless chicken, have done. He is wasting Bellingham's talent, wandering on the field: I don't know what position he plays, I don't know what he does. Ancelotti still threatens to stay: he needs to leave like a gentleman, he doesn't want to have this mess being the ultimate responsible."

Speaking of Ancelotti, he continued: "This is what he is looking for, to cover his resume and save his status. He is thinking about himself, otherwise he would have taken other measures and not these corporatist ones.  That is Ancelotti's trajectory: the victim is Real Madrid."

In this regard, he surprised with his public offer to Real Madrid: "Give it to me and I'll do something else, in 10 days I'll make them Copa champions and fix it. It's headless, with a few touches it can be fixed. I bow to those who know, Arteta came today and chapeau, what elegance. What conclusion do we reach? Work, work: the lazy ones out, the lazy ones out even if they win. Success often covers everything, but there comes a time when reality arrives."

Jorge D'Alessandro: His Career on the Benches

Jorge D'Alessandro's coaching career began after he hung up his gloves as a goalkeeper, and he quickly made a name for himself. Salamanca was his football home, the club with which he wrote his best pages from the bench. There he experienced promotions, suffering, and became a symbol for the Salamanca fans. His strong character, fiery speech, and closeness to the locker room made him a highly respected coach in professional soccer. 

But his name doesn't stay only at Helmántico. He also managed Atlético de Madrid, Nàstic, Córdoba, and several other teams, always leaving his mark, with more heart than calculator. He didn't win titles, but he did win something that few achieve: the respect of players, journalists, and fans.  

Today, D'Alessandro acts as a collaborator on El Chiringuito, from where he has publicly put himself forward to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid
