Real Madrid fans and players are very happy to have Carlo Ancelotti as their manager this season. The team are La Liga champions and will soon play another Champions League Final. Real Madrid only lost two games this entire season, and his contract expires in the summer of 2026. Although the Italian manager has been doing a great job, the club is planning to bring in Xabi Alonso as his replacement. Despite Bayer Leverkusen losing the Europa League Final against Atalanta yesterday, the Spanish manager is still seen as the ideal man to coach the team for the next couple of years. Relevo reports that Real Madrid wants Alonso to lead the new generation after Ancelotti. Bayer Leverkusen also believes that Alonso will leave their club to coach Real Madrid as soon as next year.
Despite Real Madrid’s willingness to bring in Xabi Alonso as soon as next year, Ancelotti could leave the Spanish club with no choice but to make Alonso wait until 2026. Relevo reports that if Real Madrid wins La Liga next season as they have done in this one, Xabi Alonso will have to wait a bit longer, and Ancelotti will continue until 2026. Alonso’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires in the summer of 2026.
Ancelotti was asked about his longevity as a manager, and Real Madrid fans hope to keep the Italian manager for as long as possible and if success continues to follow him. Ancelotti said, “My longevity? I will say two things. This is passion & not obsession. I think obsession is a disease and fortunately I’m not obsessed. Passion always takes over & that’s what keeps me going.”
Many football fans wonder how Ancelotti has kept Real Madrid consistently competing for titles. Great managers have different types of tactics or philosophies, and when Ancelotti was asked what’s his, he said, “My philosophy? I believe a lot in the creativity of the players when they have the ball and I don’t want to obsess them with predefined schemes, but leave it to their individual initiative. Obviously, there is the work without the ball, the sacrifice and concentration, which I insist on more at a tactical level, but creativity is fundamental, especially in players like ours, with so much talent.”
