The future of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid is more uncertain than ever, after a season marked by several key failures, despite his impressive list with the club. The Italian coach, who holds the record of titles with 15 trophies, now seems in balance after the defeat in the King Cup final against Barça, adding a new page of disappointment to his season.
Although Encelotti was praised for its historical management of the team, its results against the major teams and elimination in the Champions League against Arsenal have put its post in danger. At a press conference after the defeat, Ancelotti seemed weakened, declaring that his situation would be clarified in the coming weeks, without dismissing the idea of an end of cycle.
Direction Brazil in June?
The starting rumors are fed by Spanish sources, such as the COPE, which indicates that the club could separate from the Italian coach even before the end of the season. The Real Madrid plan would be that the Italian finished the Liga, where it remains five games, but without leading the team during the Club World Cup. The club then prepares for the possibility of appointing an interim coach, with Xabi Alonso at the top of the list to take the reins then.
-The situation is complicated by external pressure, especially on the side of Brazil, where the Brazilian Confederation would have intensified its contacts with Ancelotti, considering it as future coach. In addition, Xabi Alonso, currently at the head of Leverkusen, would be awaiting a decision by Real Madrid, while his contract with the German club could complicate negotiations. President Florentino Pérez and Ancelotti are expected to meet soon to discuss the coach’s immediate future.
The situation is crushed with the appearance of Jürgen Klopp in the discussions. According to Marca, the German was contacted by Real Madrid to probe his interest, although this was not officially confirmed. The Madrid club therefore seems to prepare for an imminent change. A change drawn by The Athletic, which for his part said that the departure of Ancelotti in Brazil would be acted, he who would have announced to the players his intention to join the Auriverde selection this summer.
To summarize
Carlo Ancelotti is threatened in Real Madrid after a disappointing season, despite his titles. Rumors indicate a departure before the end of the season, with Xabi Alonso as a replacement potential. At the same time, the Brazilian Confederation intensifies its contacts, and Jürgen Klopp is also mentioned as a successor.
