a real threat looms for Carlo Ancelotti

The heavy 2-5 defeat against FC Barcelona once again highlights the doubts surrounding Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. Despite his recent successes, the Italian technician faces growing criticism regarding his tactical choices and team management. This season, Real Madrid has often failed in major events (Barça, Milan, Liverpool), which increases the pressure on its future.

Solari in the shadows, Xabi Alonso still mentioned

Relevo, who focuses on the Ancelotti case, notes that since his return, Ancelotti has regularly been saved at the last minute, but the latest results (20th in the Champions League, second in La Liga) fuel concerns. The club's management, although respectful of its record, is beginning to lose patience, citing persistent errors such as its obsession with Tchouaméni, often preferred to Camavinga or Asencio, despite inferior performances. If Ancelotti remains in office for the moment and is therefore not threatened in the short term, he is under strict observation according to the Spanish media. Santiago Solari, director of football and former coach, is already on alert to intervene in a crisis. However, the favorite to succeed Ancelotti in the medium term remains Xabi Alonso, well placed to take the reins in the summer of 2025 if results do not improve.

Ancelotti therefore knows the contract, being forced to redress the situation quickly. The objective is to regain the confidence of its management, stabilize the playing system, and regain results in key competitions. Although his desire to stay until 2026 is clear, his future will depend on whether he can get Real Madrid back on the path to success in the coming weeks.
