Ancelotti knows that his continuity at Real Madrid has become complicated this week after losing to Arsenal. It's not just the elimination in the Champions League, but the image they have shown. It hasn't pleased Madridists, and it has also caused some discontent within the management.

This has led to the generation of rumors about when Ancelotti might leave Real Madrid. After the Copa del Rey final, before the Club World Cup, or at the end of the season. Several options, but it seems that his continuity is not something being considered.

To take his place, the number 1 candidate for everyone remains Xabi Alonso. Although the man from Tolosa hasn't confirmed anything, it would be a huge surprise if it isn't him. However, in his latest statements, he has indeed left a message regarding what is going to happen.

When asked about Real Madrid, he was blunt: "It's not a good time to talk about the future. We are at a very important moment of the season,” Xabi Alonso assured. Therefore, he still doesn't give any hints about whether he expects a call from the white team.

Florentino Has No Doubts About Xabi Alonso Being Real Madrid's Coach

It's true that other alternatives like Klopp have been mentioned, but the German's agent has ruled it out. They could also resort to other emergency solutions like Raúl, Solari, or Zidane. But Real Madrid's idea remains that Xabi Alonso will be the next coach.

Florentino has a good relationship with him, he is a man who knows the white house after two stages. Moreover, his achievements with Bayer Leverkusen are sufficient endorsement for his arrival. Therefore, all paths lead to his arrival this coming summer.

It's true that he still has a contract with the German team, which complicates things a bit. But they don't believe it will be a major problem to negotiate with them to confirm his departure. Xabi Alonso himself would be waiting for an agreement to be reached as soon as possible.
