They say he could join Real Madrid, Ancelotti praise to Xabi Alonso

Real Madrid has yet to define the future of Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach has not renewed with the team and also has talks with Brazil to become a possible new coach. Despite this, the coach continues to give no clues and has always seemed calm every time the topic has been broached. However, now, a factor that brings Xabi Alonso closer to the team is revealed.

In the event that coach Carlo Ancelotti leaves Real Madrid at the end of his contract next June, the name of Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso is strongly emerging to succeed him. And the Italian coach has completely validated the clue that leads to his Spanish counterpart.

«I thank Xabi. He has been an impressive player and is having a fantastic career as a coach because he has the perfect qualities. I like him a lot as a coach. He is one of the best that I like the most, along with Thiago Motta. "He has the profile to be a coach at Madrid because he knows the club and he is highly appreciated," analyzed the former Everton coach at a press conference this Saturday.

Ancelotti, a highly respected coach

Motta and Ancelotti have a great relationship since they met at PSG and from that time, Motta explained an anecdote that shows the respect he has for Ancelotti. "When I was playing for PSG one day we went after training to a fancy restaurant with 11 teammates, near the Arc de Triomphe. And at some point, Lavezzi says: 'I'll call coach Ancelotti to join us.' So we went in in panic and we told him: 'But damn, don't do that, we don't have to call the coach. You're crazy, you're going to put us in trouble.'
