Ancelotti’s Future at Real Madrid: Alonso Poised to Take Over?

On February 15, Spanish outlet Relevo's prominent journalist Rodra P reported that for Real Madrid, Ancelotti is always a reassuring and suitable choice for the present.

The club's hierarchy is proud, stating, "He is our best coach." They feel he is one of their own, which is why they have offered him a position after his coaching career ends.

If this season concludes in disaster, without a league title and a disappointing performance in the Champions League, it would be most normal for the coach to be dismissed.

Based on recent months' developments, the situation for Bayer Leverkusen's coach and Real Madrid legend Xabi Alonso has not changed. He is quite comfortable at the German club and is happy to continue for another season in Düsseldorf, where he resides.
His contract with Leverkusen runs until 2026, just like Ancelotti's contract with Real Madrid.

Alonso has a good relationship with Leverkusen's CEO, Fernando Carro, and they have a gentleman's agreement: if he wishes to go to Real Madrid, they will let him leave, even if he has a valid contract.

This means that even if he renews, it wouldn't be an issue for Alonso; he could go to Real Madrid if he wants. Their thought is that if Real Madrid fails to win the league, cup, or Champions League title, Alonso will replace Ancelotti this summer.
