His future was under scrutiny at the start of the season, and with constant rumors that Xabi Alonso could join the Santiago Bernabeu, there is a chance he could leave next summer.
Ancelotti is under contract until 2026, but Real Madrid could try to bring in Alonso at the end of the season. If that happens, AS Roma could make a move for the Italian as La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MD) reported that he is on a two-coach shortlist.
Roma want Carletto
Former Juventus coach Max Allegri is the other name Roma are considering for coaching for next season and beyond.
Ancelotti was expected to retire when he leaves Real Madrid, although Roma clearly believe he could be convinced to continue in his homeland.
