Returning to Real Madrid in 2021, Carlo Ancelotti again did wonders with the Merengues. The man of the decima (2014) was able to add two other champions leagues and two other ligas to the Casa Blanca prize list (2022, 2024). But despite his two doubles, the Italian is very likely not to resist the current Real Madrid crisis. Eliminated without glory of the C1 by Arsenal (0-3, 1-2), distant in the championship by FC Barcelona, ​​the reigning European champion could complete a white season on a large title. Which would stain the year Florentino Pérez thought of making his team even stronger with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé.
Madrid can still save the furniture if he won the King Cup final on April 26, but the general impression left by the Ancelotti team is not good. And as often, it is the coach who risks toast. Pushed towards the release in 2015, Ancelotti may well know the same fate by the end of the season. Once again, Xabi Alonso's name insistently returns to replace it. Young 43 -year -old coach already crowned in the Bundesliga, the former midfielder Merengue checks all the boxes to sit on the Merengue sidelines. Under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026, will Alonso the happy elected official? Present in Madrid as part of the Laureus trophies, the CEO of the German club, Fernando Carro, was assaulted by questions by the Spanish press. The opportunity for him to make a revelation.

He played for Bayern, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. Maybe Real Sociedad will come to the news (laughs) (…) I am serene, because our relationship with Xabi Alonso is very good. We are aware that in football, there can be situations where changes in a club affect others. The reality is that we are preparing next season with him. We work every day and it is involved in next year's preparation ”he said in remarks relayed by Readerbefore confiding that there is no quarrel with Casa Blanca.
“If there was an interest on the part of another club and that he wanted to leave, we have a relationship that should be discussed. Our wish is that it continues. I would like Madrid to win all the competitions in which he participates, because then there would be no discussions. They were eliminated from the Champions League, but they can win the championship and the cup. We can speculate a lot, but for the moment there is nothing. We know them. We have very good relations with Real Madrid. I only met Florentino PĂ©rez once, but I have excellent relations with JosĂ© ángel Sánchez (the director general of Casa Blanca, editor's note). We had a player on loan from Leverkusen, we talked about many players in the past. There is a fluid relationship between two self -respecting clubs. »» Case to follow.
