Xabi Alonso, the Bayer Leverkusen coach, seems to be a Real Madrid coach in the making, most of the media considering the question as a matter of time.
The Basque coach is expected to succeed Carlo Ancelotti and has been in contact with Real Madrid in recent months. The future of Ancelotti remains uncertain, and it is not a secret for anyone: the Italian's ability to win titles this season will determine its extension. Real has said it to Alonso, but he is happy to spend an additional year in Germany if Ancelotti arrives at the end of his contract with Real Madrid; He and his family are happy in the Bundesliga.
However, the door is open so that Alonso joins Real Madrid if Ancelotti leaves this summer. Relo also adds that Alonon, knowing the club well since his player career and his experience as coach under 19, is aware of the limits of his role.
If he will clearly have his say to say and defend his convictions, he knows that his role is above all to train the team and that transfers decisions will be taken by others.
Xabi Alonso expected at Real Madrid.
Alonso would like to recruit one or two players to his taste at the Santiago Bernabéu, but he knows that it will be difficult to convince the management of Real. They will not make transfers that they consider not profitable and will not modify their transfer strategy with the arrival of Alonso, despite its prestige.
Ancelotti fully felt the effects: Real Madrid did not recruit any attacker after the departure of Karim Benzema. The Merengues also did not recruit a central defender after the departure of Nacho Fernandez last summer. In recent years, Real Madrid has invested massively in young talents like Aurélien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham, but older players have arrived exclusively for free.
