The tide is turning for Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. Following the heavy defeat against FC Barcelona during the Clasico (0-4), Saturday evening at Santiago-Bernabeu, pressure is mounting around the Italian technician. Tactically overtaken by Barça, the Madrid coach is struggling to find solutions for a Madrid collective lacking inspiration, which seems to depend solely on the individual exploits of its stars.
Xabi Alonso to replace Ancelotti?
Management and supporters are worried about this lack of clear strategy, accentuating criticism towards Ancelotti, especially since some internal players are also expressing their discontent. According to SportFlorentino Pérez, the president of the White House, has already made the decision to part ways with the Transalpine at the end of the season.
The name of Xabi Alonso, current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, comes up insistently to take over the reins of the Merengues. A popular former Real Madrid midfielder, the Spaniard is reportedly set to make his debut at Casa Blanca next summer, benefiting from a clause allowing him to leave the German club. The departure of Carlo Ancelotti therefore seems sealed, leaving fans and managers with hope of a revival.
