The Italian may still have the chance to win two consecutive liga titles, but if he wishes to keep his post, he will have to avoid any misstep and make sure that the trophy remains in Santiago Bernabeu. The Real Madrid hierarchy also believes that not at least reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League would be a sufficient reason to separate from Ancelotti, according to REVO. The future of Ancelotti is even more questioned by the potential availability of Xabi Alonso du Bayer Leverkusen, who has long been expected for the post in Bernabeu.
REVO's report also suggests that Alonso has an agreement with Leverkusen leaders that he would be authorized to leave the German champion if Madrid approached him. The Spanish coach, who spent five seasons as a player in Real, remained unbeaten in the Bundesliga last season and he seems interested in the position if the opportunity arises.
Alonso threat
Alonso has already distanced himself from this position, saying that he did not want to leave Germany in the middle of the season. However, his contract expiring in 2026, his position could change at the end of the season. He said : “I can't say anything, we are in the middle of season and all clubs have big goals.
“Over the years, time has passed, but the affection (for Madrid) has continues. This relationship is unforgettable, and it is appreciated because the link is very strong. It was a very nice step as a player, it was very intense years. It was difficult for us to get what we wanted and we were very celebrated when we succeeded. »»
Ancelotti will be under pressure to obtain a positive result this week while his team seeks to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
