After a restless period, calm gradually returns to the Real Madrid bench around Carlo Ancelotti. At the end of an excellent victory on the lawn of Manchester City, the Madrilenians are better, which repels rumors a little around the departure of the Italian manager. But if the season ended without trophies, Ancelotti could see his post in danger, especially since the name of Xabi Alonso is becoming more and more insisting in the corridors of Santiago Bernabeu.
The Spanish coach of Bayer Leverkusen remains very comfortable in the German club, and would be happy to continue an additional season in the Bundesliga, but keeps Real in a corner of his head. Xabi and its sports director Fernando Carro even have an agreement: when the old defensive midfielder wants to leave for Real Madrid, the club will let him go, even with an in progress contract. This means that even an extension of a contract would not be a problem for the arrival of Xabi Alonso in Madrid.
