While Xabi Alonso seems to be the favorite, Real Madrid would have a new idea in mind for the succession of Carlo Ancelotti.
THE real Madrid will turn a new page in its rich history at the end of the season. After five seasons (2013-2015 and 2021-2024) on the Merengues bench, Carlo Ancelotti will leave the Spanish capital to take the reins of the Brazilian selection for the Copa America 2024. Still in its policy of anticipation, the Spanish club has already launched the search for the successor of the Italian technician, and so far, it is Xabi Alonso who was the favorite for this position.
Xabi Alonso and De Zerbi on the list
The Spanish coach, with his good results and an attractive game plan with the Bayer Leverkusen, appears to be an ideal candidate for this position due to his youth and his experience at Real, where he played between 2009 and 2014 as a player. But the 2010 world champion, if he shows interest in this position, could have competition, and not just any competition.
According to information from the Cadena SERthe Madrid club would also target Roberto DeZerbi to succeed Ancelotti next season. After notable stints at Shakhtar Donetsk and Sassuolo, the Italian coach has exploded in the eyes of the whole world since his arrival at Brighton in September 2022. The Seagulls are currently in 3rd place in the Premier League with the best attack in the championship.
