Del Bosque asks Florentino for a new coach: neither Xabi nor Zidane

Carlo Ancelotti’s continuity at Real Madrid is practically ruled out. The Italian coach has a very tempting offer from Brazil on the table, and the merengue club still has no plans to offer him a contract extension .

Real Madrid’s idea is to make the decision at the end of the season, while Carlo Ancelotti wants to have his future decided in December or January at the latest . For this reason, it is not ruled out that the Italian ends up accepting the offer from the Brazilian National Team.

For this reason, Real Madrid is also preparing to find his replacement . In June 2024 Zinedine Zidane and Jose Mourinho will be free , but they are also interested in Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard has a contract with Bayern Leverkusen until 2025, but he has an exit clause to go to Real Madrid.

Vicente del Bosque’s favorite is a coach who is being talked about much less , because he is not one of the club’s priorities at the moment. “If Ancelotti does not renew, Raúl is prepared to be coach of Real Madrid,” said the former Real Madrid coach in an interview.

Del Bosque’s request is the one that attracts the least to the club . Real Madrid considers that Raúl still has to continue growing as a coach, and that perhaps he would need to try coaching a team of a higher category, to continue gaining experience and improve.

In some way, they want him to do like Xabi Alonso , who has coached the Madrid youth academy, Real Sociedad B and now Bayern Leverkusen, where he is being fundamental to the great moment the team is experiencing.
