Real Madrid Confidencial Xabi Alonso isn't the Only Option: 2 Other TOP Coaches if Ancelotti Leaves
Xabi isn't the only option and 2 other names are being considered to replace Ancelotti on the bench
The topic of the white club's bench is one of the most exciting and intriguing both within the club and among fans outside. There's talk of the possibility of signing Xabi Alonso from Bayer Leverkusen, who would be the main candidate. However, it seems there are two other possible names to replace the Italian if he leaves at the end of the season.
The second favorite option for the president and many fans would also be the return of the acclaimed French coach, Zinedine Zidane. Something that many would consider a mistake, as he follows the same system as Ancelotti, although for others, it's the perfect transfer. However, if either of these two options fails, the promotion of Raúl González to the first team would be the alternative.
Any of these three coaches has the top-level of having been part of Real Madrid and being one of its great stars in history. While the Leverkusen coach has shown a different side, the others are also no strangers to the white entity.
The three prospects for the bench
Ancelotti's overall performance this season has been, at the very least, somewhat disappointing compared to what was achieved last season. A team that was extremely well worked and only lost two games throughout the campaign, thus achieving many titles.
For this reason, the expectation about the team's play has caused this need to look for another option on the bench. And these three names are the main ones: Zidane is recognized by all as the coach of the three consecutive Champions.
However, Raúl also has the foundation after years of coaching Castilla to at least give him the benefit of the doubt. Although for many, the only option truly worth considering is Alonso's return to the club to change the team's dynamics.
A discussion that only has one solution
While this debate can drag on for a long time, the only one who has the absolute truth about the club's future is Florentino Pérez. The president's decision will be crucial for the team's future, which has one of the best teams in its history to exploit.
