Real Madrid have had a very difficult start to the season. Ancelotti trembles.

After two consecutive defeats against Barcelona (0-4) and AC Milan (1-3), Carlo Ancelotti was under significant pressure – and he still is, despite last weekend’s 4-0 victory against Osasuna .

Diario AS claim that the Real Madrid hierarchy have doubts over Ancelotti’s continuity as coach, despite the recent optimism sparked by this victory against Osasuna. The upcoming Champions League clash against Liverpool is seen as key for the Italian, who could be relieved of his duties in the coming weeks.

If that were to happen, Xabi Alonso would be the big favorite to replace him permanently. However, he will not leave Bayer Leverkusen until the end of the season, meaning Real Madrid are reportedly looking for a short-term option. According to the report, Santiago Solari would be well suited to take on this role if called upon to do so.

Solari previously served as Real Madrid’s caretaker coach for four months between 2018 and 2019, so it’s a role he would feel comfortable in. Club officials hope it won’t be necessary, but that will depend on how things go in the coming weeks.
