The situation of the Real Madrid staff will be monitored in 2024. Carlo Ancelotti’s contract expires at the end of this season, and at this stage, it is not certain that he will extend his stay in the Spanish capital.
Ancelotti has been heavily linked with the Brazil coaching job, although this may be called into question by the ousting of Ednaldo Rodrigues as president of the Brazilian Football Federation earlier this week.
If Ancelotti leaves, Xabi Alonso is considered the favorite to succeed him at the helm of Real Madrid. The former Real Sociedad B coach has done a phenomenal job with Bayer Leverkusen, who currently sit top of the Bundesliga.
Alonso discussed his future during an interview with The Guardian (via MD), and he made it clear that the final decision regarding his next position, whether at Real Madrid or elsewhere, will be made by him alone.
“It depends on whether you want to be pushed to make decisions by others or whether you want to make your own decisions. So far I have been clear. I will make my own decisions when I feel the time is right. So that’s certainly what’s going to happen.”
