Fabrizio Romano Announces Coaching Change at Real Madrid, Ancelotti K.O.

The Italian journalist reveals that unless Carlo manages to turn the tie around, Madrid will have a new coach

Real Madrid could change coaches in a matter of days. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, there is now a great possibility that Carlo Ancelotti will be dismissed if the team is eliminated against Arsenal.

The match against the English team will be key for the future of the white bench. If Real Madrid doesn't qualify, everything could escalate very quickly. Ancelotti's continuity, which has already been at the center of much criticism, hangs by a thread.

Fabrizio Romano has assured that the management is already seriously considering his departure. The club doesn't want another European failure. Especially not with a squad full of stars like Mbappé, Bellingham, Vinicius, or Valverde.

Madrid's Gamble Against Arsenal

The white team will be fighting for their life tomorrow night against Arsenal. It will be the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals and the context couldn't be more complicated.

Ancelotti's team must overcome a tough 3-0 deficit. In the first leg, held at Emirates Stadium, Real Madrid was completely outplayed. Declan Rice scored two goals from direct free kicks, and Mikel Merino sealed the rout with a good goal in the final stretch.

The result has left both the locker room and the Italian coach shaken. Criticism has poured in due to the lack of tactical response and late substitutions. Bernabéu demands a historic comeback, but also a strong response from the bench.

Xabi Alonso, Florentino Pérez's Favorite

For months, the main candidate to replace Ancelotti has been Xabi Alonso. The Spanish coach has excelled at Bayer Leverkusen and has the full support of the management. His modern style, leadership, and past as a white player make him the number one favorite.

Klopp Gains Strength

In recent days, a new name has emerged strongly: Jürgen Klopp. The German recently left Liverpool and is available. Although his idea was to rest, Madrid's interest could make him change his mind.

Zidane, the Eternal Wildcard

Finally, Zidane is always in the background. If the other options fail, the Frenchman could return as a savior.

Tomorrow will be a decisive night at Santiago Bernabéu. It could be the last for Carlo Ancelotti if there is no miracle.
