Carlo Ancelotti’s destiny seems more uncertain than ever at Real Madrid. After recent disappointments in the league and the Champions League – including a notable defeat against AC Milan – Real’s management could decide to part ways with the Italian coach if results do not improve quickly. Elimination in C1, particularly in the event of a defeat at Anfield against Liverpool, could seal his fate.
Zinedine Zidane favorite to replace Ancelotti
As in every period of crisis in Madrid, Zinedine Zidane returns to discussions for a potential return to the helm of the Merengue. The three-time Champions League winner with Real is tipped to take over the team, at least temporarily. For next summer, another former member of the club, Xabi Alonso, currently coach of Bayer Leverkusen, is also being considered to take over the reins.
