Carlo Ancelotti's role as manager for Real Madrid is currently under scrutiny due to a humiliating stretch in both La Liga and the Champions League. The club is exploring potential options for his successor.

Recent matches have surfaced many hurdles, including a 3-1 defeat to ACMilan in the Champions League, following an embarrassing loss of 4-0 against rivals Barcelona at home just a week earlier. 

Florentino Perez 'unhappy' with Ancelotti 

According toTEAMtalk, it has been learned that Florentino Perez, the president of Los Blancos, expressed concerns regarding the team’s recent performances. While no decisions have been finalized regarding Ancelotti’s position, Madrid’s leadership is mindful of various underlying factors affecting the club. They are taking a thoughtful approach as they evaluate the situation.

Kylian Mbappe is viewed by some as a disruptive force in the dressing room, leading to significant issues within the squad.  Despite scoring eight goals in 15 appearances this season across all competitions, many assert that his performances and contributions have fallen short of expectations.

Leverkusen's Xavi Alonso is the forerunner for the role 

Recent reports indicate that Bayer Leverkusen manager and former Real Madrid player Xabi Alonso has emerged as Florentino Perez's preferred candidate to succeed Carlo Ancelotti.

Xabi Alonso's choice to turn down an offer from Liverpool and continue his project with Bayer Leverkusen last summer appears to have positioned him favorably for a potential move to the Bernabeu. This decision has kept him in strong contention to lead the prestigious club.

According to sources, Perez has been in direct communication with Alonso for several months. As the season progresses, it appears that Alonso is nearing a verbal agreement to take on the role of the new Madrid manager.

Sources also indicate that Alonso is excited about Madrid’s vision, which focuses on cultivating the best young talent in the world.
