Real Madrid's latest poor results weaken Carlo Ancelotti and a few options are available for the Madrid club.
The Real Madrid technician has a lot of credit, but it is not inexhaustible. The club's poor start to the season and especially the last two poor performances at the Santiago Bernabeu put pressure on Carlo Ancelotti who inevitably finds himself on the front line. The time has not yet come for a dismissal but if the situation worsens, Madrid's leaders will not tremble.
Moreover, this is the message conveyed by Madrid management to Carlo Ancelotti during a meeting organized today. Confidence and calm have been conveyed to the Madrid coach but this meeting also serves as a warning because concern is very present in the ranks of Real Madrid. At all levels.
Still according to Marca, if the adventure were to end prematurely with Carlo Ancelotti, the Madrid club has two options within the club and we can go up to 4 if we open the field of possibilities a little more.
Xabi Alonso, Zidane… ?
Initially, one option should be ruled out: Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard, the club's priority target to begin a new post-Ancelotti cycle, is certainly not in a position to leave Bayer Leverkusen during the season. Xabi is a stylish man who will respect his contract and has an agreement with his club to leave next summer. Not before.
On the other hand, the Zidane option is real, concrete. The Frenchman is free, he knows the house like no other and already has the experience of taking over in the middle of the season. He is still very regularly at the Bernabeu and his relations with management have greatly warmed up. He knows Mbappé, he contributed to the arrival of Bellingham… Many arguments in his favor.
The only problem is that it is difficult to imagine Zidane coming back for just 6 months and the risk is to let Xabi Alonso escape. In this sense, a repair from Raúl is undoubtedly more credible except that the legendary 7 of the White House is not very convincing with the Castilla that he has been training for several seasons.
Two options remain: Alvaro Arbeloa and Santiago Solari. The first is making a promising start but only plays with Juvenil A and therefore the gap is gigantic with the first team. Going from young men (18-19 years old) to stars of Real Madrid… The club rather imagines a continuation within Castilla for him.
As for Solari, we remember his short stint which awakened the team on certain points. He was not afraid to trust young people and helped Vinicius Junior progress. With Raúl, he is the most credible option according to Marca but for the moment, management is not considering parting ways with Carlo Ancelotti. The result against Osasuna will be important in this sense…
