Real Madrid wants to finalize two moves they have been working on for a few weeks

Enrique Sanz

Multiple changes are coming to Real Madrid in the coming weeks. The end of the season is really near, with only one match left in the current league campaign, so the future is already being planned in the Valdebebas offices. The first two official announcements scheduled by the white club, aside from the announcement of Dean Huijsen's signing, would be ready to see the light.

The first official announcement that Real Madrid has worked on in recent days is the farewell of Carlo Ancelotti. While it is true that the Reggiolo coach confirmed a week ago that he would be heading to Brazil, the white club has not yet commented on it. The CBF took the lead in that announcement but did not disrupt plans that will be kept the same.

In this context, Real Madrid is expected to announce the departure and the details of Carlo Ancelotti's farewell events in a statement before the match on Sunday 25th. That clash against Real Sociedad will be the Italian strategist's last in charge of Santiago Bernabéu locker room, so a "party" is expected from Madridists... to thank the most decorated coach of the club and bid him farewell in grand style.

With the departure of Carlo Ancelotti properly scheduled on the calendar, as it would take effect at the end of the match against the txuri-urdin squad, Real Madrid would finalize the other announcement. After all, the first team's coaching position will not remain vacant for long, especially with the Club World Cup around the corner.

Everything fits

In this context, the executives led by Florentino Pérez would strive to announce the appointment of Xabi Alonso as the new Madrid coach the week following Carlo Ancelotti's farewell. That announcement would also be accompanied by the corresponding presentation events.

The board of directors would schedule the presentation of the Tolosa coach as soon as possible, given the pressure exerted by the competitive calendar with the Club World Cup. The competition organized by FIFA between June and July is, without a doubt, one of the club's sporting priorities.

The information from Fabrizio Romano supports those plans devised from the Valdebebas offices. The Italian journalist points out that Xabi Alonso could bring forward his trip to Madrid to next week, with the current league campaign already concluded, to speak personally with the white bosses.

The change in those travel plans would be the definitive point that would underpin the roadmap of the sports management for the replacement on the local bench of Santiago Bernabéu. Now it only remains to wait for the designed timelines to be met for each of the planned official announcements.
