Real Madrid board is about to sack Carlo Ancelotti and appoint this world class manager after a poor performance this season
Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure as Real Madrid manager appears to be coming to an end following the team’s devastating Champions League quarterfinal exit at the hands of Arsenal. The 2-1 loss at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night sealed Madrid’s elimination from the competition and sparked widespread speculation about Ancelotti’s future.
Ancelotti’s post-match comments did little to quell the rumors, as he acknowledged that his position was uncertain. According to a report from Sky Sports, it is now expected that Ancelotti will part ways with the club after next weekend’s Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
The timing of Ancelotti’s anticipated departure is significant, as the Copa del Rey final could be his last opportunity to salvage some silverware this season. Meanwhile, speculation about Ancelotti’s next destination has begun to heat up, with Brazil reportedly interested in hiring him as their new head coach.
A representative from the Brazilian Football Confederation was spotted in the stands at the Bernabéu during Madrid’s loss to Arsenal, fueling rumors that talks are underway. As for who might succeed Ancelotti, several names have been floated, including former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and current Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso.
Klopp’s experience and charisma would undoubtedly make him an attractive candidate, while Alonso’s success as a young manager in Europe has generated significant interest in him. There’s also a possibility that Real Madrid might promote from within, with Santiago Solari potentially being called upon to guide the team through the remainder of the season until a permanent replacement is found.
