Real Madrid’s Target Manager has now made his final decision to leave his club this season and confirms interest to join Real Madrid Next Season

Carlo Ancelotti is facing increasing pressure at Real Madrid as the team grapples with a sluggish start to the 2024-25 season, sparking questions about his future. After an initially strong commitment from Real Madrid to keep Ancelotti until 2026, their patience may be running thin due to their recent struggles. As both reigning La Liga and European champions, Real Madrid’s high standards have heightened concerns, making the possibility of Ancelotti’s premature departure a realistic scenario if results don’t improve.

Should Madrid seek a change, Xabi Alonso has emerged as the top candidate to replace Ancelotti. The former Real Madrid midfielder has made a name for himself in management, leading Bayer Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title last season. Although Leverkusen’s current campaign has had its challenges, Alonso’s success has caught the attention of Madrid’s leadership, including club president Florentino Perez, who is reportedly enthusiastic about the idea of Alonso returning to the Bernabeu.

Reports from Eurosport indicate that Alonso may be open to a move next summer despite his contract with Leverkusen running until 2026. Notably, he may not be the only one leaving the German side, as Leverkusen defender Alejandro Grimaldo is also expected to depart, possibly following Alonso to his next destination.

While Alonso’s appointment isn’t confirmed, the former Real Madrid star’s ties to the club and recent coaching accomplishments make him an appealing successor. If Real Madrid decides on a managerial change, Alonso’s deep-rooted history with the club, combined with his growing reputation, could make him the ideal candidate.

Ancelotti still has time to regain stability, but with a promising alternative like Alonso on the horizon, Real Madrid may find it hard to resist a managerial shift. As the season unfolds, fans will watch closely to see whether Alonso’s journey indeed leads him back to Madrid, potentially to guide a new era for Los Blancos.
