Real Madrid players know the name of their next coach after Ancelotti… and they are talking about him in the locker room
The Spanish network Relevo claimed that the identity of Real Madrid’s next coach became known to everyone in the white club after he sent his message, which was interpreted as a reference to Ancelotti’s succession after his contract expires in June 2026.
The well-known Spanish network claimed that Real Madrid players know who will coach them after the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, and are even talking about the matter publicly in the locker room.
It is believed that Xabi Alonso’s decision to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another season is a message that he is waiting for Ancelotti to leave when his contract expires in June 2026 to take his place in coaching Real Madrid.
The Spanish coach has rejected two European giants for this reason, namely Bayern Munich and Liverpool, because he only wants to coach Real Madrid and staying for another year in Leverkusen is the most appropriate solution to obtain the job that will not be vacant until after the expiration of Ancelotti’s contract.
In the dressing room, they also know that Xabi Alonso is the chosen one to replace Ancelotti, whose contract was renewed due to his proficiency in dealing with players, and the empty results indicate that he will continue until he hands over his duties to Xavi in 2026.
