Real Madrid continues to work on planning its future, and one of the key points is the technical direction. With Carlo Ancelotti getting closer to the end of his time at the Merengue club, Florentino Pérez has already set his sights on a possible successor: Andoni Iraola.

The Basque coach has managed to stand out in the Premier League thanks to his brilliant work at Bournemouth, a team to which he has given an offensive identity and a dynamic style of play. His ability to get the best out of his squad and his youthful profile have put him on the Real Madrid president's radar as the ideal man to lead the next project of the White Club.

Tottenham also interested

However, the interest in Iraola is not exclusive to Real Madrid. Tottenham has also set its sights on the former Rayo Vallecano coach as one of its main options for the next season, which could complicate matters for the Madridistas.

🚨 Xabi Alonso and Andoni Iraola are Real Madrid's top two targets to replace Carlo Ancelotti, if the Italian leaves in the summer.

Florentino also eyeing Xabi Alonso

Moreover, Xabi Alonso remains a heavyweight alternative. His excellent performance at Bayer Leverkusen has made him another top contender to take over the Santiago Bernabéu bench. The final decision seems to be between these two coaches, with the club torn between Iraola's tactical freshness and Alonso's Madridista profile.

Florentino Pérez knows that the next coach will be key to the project's evolution, and with Ancelotti getting closer to a possible departure, Real Madrid is moving swiftly to secure the best possible replacement.
