The future of the Real Madrid bench remains a hot topic on the club's agenda. While Carlo Ancelotti maintains his commitment to the team, rumors about a possible replacement continue to gain strength. In this context, Xabi Alonso has positioned himself as the leading candidate to take charge of the white team next season, and according to sources close to the club, contacts have already been made with the former player.
The Madrid board is aware that Ancelotti's project could be coming to an end. Although the team is still in the title race, there is a feeling that his cycle could close in the coming months. Faced with this possibility, as reported by Eldesmarque, Florentino Pérez has started to make moves, engaging in conversations with Xabi Alonso, who currently manages Bayer Leverkusen with notable success.
Xabi Alonso is the top choice to join Real Madrid
The Basque coach, who has impressed with his work in the Bundesliga, is seen as a future investment for Madrid. His knowledge of the club, his playing style, and his growth as a coach have made him the favorite to assume the role if Ancelotti does not continue. Although nothing is final, the club's willingness to have Alonso on the bench is evident.
On the other hand, there have been reports linking other coaches to the white team. Some English media have mentioned Andoni Iraola as an alternative option, although this possibility seems less likely given the type of coach Florentino Pérez is looking for.
For now, the final decision will depend on how the season unfolds and Ancelotti's intentions. However, it is clear that Madrid has already begun to plan the future of its bench, with Xabi Alonso at the center of that strategy.
