Real Madrid have a plan for their bench. Carlo Ancelotti will remain at the club until the end of the season before a former member of the house takes over.
Real Madrid cannot afford to be taken aback for such an important position as that of coach, a roadmap is already in the pipeline for who should succeed Carlo Ancelotti in a year. The Italian’s cycle will end on June 30, 2024 and unless there is a twist, he will leave his post on this date.
Bild, the reference sports media in Germany, claims that the Madrid management has set its sights on a former home for the 2024-25 season, which is none other than Xabi Alonso. A very serious option, especially since the Spaniard’s contract with Bayer expires at the end of next season.
Everything will depend on whether Xabi Alonso renews his contract with the German club or if he is free. In the event that he has a new contract and has to negotiate his departure, the name of Xabi Alonso will automatically lose weight. In the meantime, Ancelotti will coach Brazil in 2024. The Brazilian Confederation is trying to convince him to leave Real Madrid early, but the Italian will go through with his term and the CBF will settle for it.

The “bis” options
According to the aforementioned outlet, Xabi Alonso isn’t the only manager to feature on Real Madrid’s shortlist, although he’s the best-suited to coach the first team after Carlo Ancelotti.
Arbeloa waits in Valdebebas for the opportunity to rise in rank. The former full-back is currently coaching Juvenil A, who he led to Champions Cup victory. Other names, known to be regulars on the merengue bench, also appear as options, although less solid, such as the returns of Zinédine Zidane or José Mourinho.
Finally, still according to Bild, the one who no longer seems to be in the race, surprisingly, is Raúl. Despite his very good results at the head of Castilla (his team is playing promotion in a match in three days), the Spanish technician is never considered a serious lead and could even pack his bags for the Schalke 04 bench, the team where he had retired as a player…
