The situation of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid is generating increasing uncertainty, especially after the recent defeats against Barcelona and Milan, which have weakened his position on the Madridista bench. Despite the expressions of support from the White's board, claiming to trust the coach to steer the course right, the atmosphere in the club is not particularly encouraging regarding his continuity. Executives have expressed concern about the team's image, which, while not putting Ancelotti in a critical position, makes it clear that his situation is not entirely stable. In this context, names are starting to emerge that could take his place in the near future.

As reported by MundoDeportivo, one of the first candidates is Santiago Solari, who currently serves as the director of football at Real Madrid but already has experience on the bench after his brief spell with the first team in 2018 when he replaced Lopetegui. With Solari, Vinicius Jr. became a key player for the team, which sparks some nostalgia and expectations at the club.

Raúl González, coach of Castilla and a Madridismo legend, is another name resonating as a possible replacement. Although his campaign with the reserves has not been outstanding, his deep ties to the club and knowledge of the youth system make him a natural candidate. However, discussions in Valdebebas also mention Álvaro Arbeloa as a preferred option due to his character and commitment to the club, despite lacking elite experience.

Experienced and top-level coaches are also in the mix

The list of potential replacements does not end here. Zinedine Zidane remains a recurring figure in every conversation about the Real Madrid bench, while Jürgen Klopp has also been mentioned, although his appointment seems complex at this time.

Either way, the club's long-term bet is clear: Xabi Alonso. Currently in the Bundesliga, Alonso has shown capability and success, earning him the club's favor. Real Madrid, if they make the move to replace Ancelotti, would opt for an interim coach while waiting for the right moment to bring Alonso to the Santiago Bernabéu next season.
