Carlo Ancelotti will lead the Brazil national football team at the end of this season, and Real Madrid have already found the perfect replacement for the Italian coach. The favorite is the former player of “Santiago Bernabeu”.

Xabi Alonso is a big favorite to take over Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti’s days at Real Madrid are numbered.

The Italian coach has reached an agreement with the Brazilian Football Federation to lead the national team from the summer of 2024, and Real Madrid officials are already looking for a coach to lead the team next season.

According to Radio Marca, Xabi Alonso is the favorite to lead Real Madrid from the summer of 2024.

He has been on the bench at Bayer Leverkusen since October 2022 and the Bundesliga side have grown tremendously under the Spaniard.

In the previous season, Alonso made 37 appearances on the bench for Leverkusen, and the record is very good: 17 wins, 10 draws and 10 losses.

In addition, Bayer 04 finished last season in 6th place and qualified the team for the UEFA Europa League groups.

This start to the season is even better for Leverkusen, who have 6 wins, a draw and no defeats.

At the same time, Leverkusen is in second place in the Bundesliga, tied for points with the champion Bayern Munich and a goal difference of 17:6.

Alonso’s move to Real Madrid looks all but certain given Florentino Perez’s recent interest in his services, the quoted source said.

Xabi Alonso was also a Real Madrid player from August 2009 to August 2014 and made 236 appearances for Blanco.
