Real Madrid, always attentive to movements in elite football, is already beginning to prepare the ground for the future of its bench. Although Carlo Ancelotti has a contract until 2026, the board led by Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez is not neglecting the long-term outlook. In recent days, the names of Xabi Alonso and Zinedine Zidane have resurfaced as possible successors to the Italian coach.
Ancelotti, with his vast experience and great track record, remains focused on official competitions. Aware of how a club the size of Real Madrid operates, his goal is to avoid any distractions and keep his players focused on immediate challenges. Despite this, the club ensures it has a succession plan in place.
Real Madrid moves to prepare for Ancelotti's succession
Recently, the Italian coach made it clear that he has no intention of retiring in the short term, as long as he continues to feel the same passion for football. However, both he and the board know that results and titles are the main indicators to measure his continuity on the bench at the Santiago Bernabéu.
In this context, both Zidane, who already had a glorious spell on the white bench, and Xabi Alonso, who has excelled in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, are two names resonating strongly. Their relationship with the club, combined with their experience, positions them as serious candidates to lead the team in the not too distant future. Ancelotti remains in charge, but at the white house, they are already starting to project what will come when his cycle ends, with two legends on the list of possible successors.
