Name shuffle on the Real Madrid bench: Three candidates being considered to replace Ancelotti if he leaves
Real Madrid is not going through its best moment. The recent defeat against Valencia at the Bernabéu has set off all the alarms. The team is moving away from the lead in LaLiga, and tension has increased in the board, according to the partisan website Real Madrid Exclusivo.
Florentino Pérez, president of the club, is beginning to lose confidence in Carlo Ancelotti. Although Madrid is still alive in the Champions League and is already in the final of the Copa del Rey, the team’s game is not convincing. The decisions of the Italian coach generate doubts within the club.
Therefore, possible alternatives are already being worked on from the offices. Three names are on the table as real options to replace Ancelotti if the situation does not improve.
Klopp: The most ambitious option
The first on the list is Jürgen Klopp. The German coach is free after his time at Liverpool, where he reaped multiple successes. His aggressive, offensive, and modern style seduces in Valdebebas.
Klopp is a charismatic coach with experience on big stages. His signing would be a blow on the table, although his arrival would not be easy or cheap. Even so, he likes a lot for his ability to build winning projects.
Zidane: The always possible return
Another candidate is Zinedine Zidane. The Frenchman already knows what it is to succeed as a coach at Real Madrid. He won three Champions Leagues in a row and maintains an excellent relationship with Florentino Pérez.
Zizou knows the locker room, understands the pressure of the club, and has never closed the door to returning. His figure always hovers around the “Merengue” (Meringue) bench when there is turbulence.
Xabi Alonso: The bet on the future
The third name is that of Xabi Alonso. He currently manages Bayer Leverkusen and has achieved spectacular results. His style and leadership have caught the attention in the white dome.
The problem is his current contract with the German club. Leverkusen considers him non-transferable. But being Real Madrid, any movement can happen.
