Real Madrid close to signing Ancelotti's successor
Real Madrid's management is close to reaching an agreement with the successor to Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, the current coach of the first football team, in light of the recent decline in performance and results in both the Spanish League and the Champions League.
Ancelotti's fate with Real Madrid
According to what was published by the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", Real Madrid is planning to sign Xabi Alonso, the coach of the German Bayer Leverkusen team, to lead the team starting next summer. Ancelotti is expected to end his career with the royal club before the end of his contract, which extends until the summer of 2026.
Real Madrid's next coach
It is noteworthy that Ancelotti took over the training of Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 during his second term with the team, and succeeded in achieving all possible championships with the club. However, it seems that the decline in the level in the recent period has prompted Real Madrid's management to search for a new coach.
On the other hand, reports indicate that the Italian club Roma is interested in contracting Ancelotti to lead the team next season, as the Italian coach Claudio Ranieri seeks to convince Ancelotti to join the "Giallorossi", taking advantage of the strong relationship that brings them together.
Zidane continues to reject offers
In a related context, the French Zinedine Zidane, the former coach of Real Madrid, continues to reject the offers presented to him since his departure from coaching the team more than three years ago, despite receiving many opportunities recently.
Currently, Real Madrid occupies second place in the Spanish League table with 40 points, only one point behind the leader Barcelona.
