Carlo Ancelotti has now become the most successful manager at Real Madrid, as he has won the most number of trophies with the team. After winning the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, Ancelotti surpassed Miguel Muñoz’s trophy count (14).
The club is currently in a decent position in the league. The fact that Real Madrid is not able to play the same football as the previous year has brought up a huge doubt on Ancelotti. Fans demand wins in every UCL game, but they have won just two in the last five games this season in UCL. The other defeat that fueled this conversation is the El Clasico defeat, and that too with a huge margin.
The biggest question in the mind of Madridistas right now is who will replace Ancelotti in the upcoming season. Who is responsible for this drastic change in the quality of football is a separate topic; we will discuss the potential names that can replace Carlo Ancelotti.
Gian Piero Gasperini
Gasperini is a highly skilled and top class tactician, he is doing well with Atalanta in Italy and plays a counter attacking system there. He does not compromise with his tactics for the players unlike Carlo but if he is able to fit the available players with a few signings in his team then he can be successful at Madrid. He is 66, this can be a drawback as Real Madrid would definitely love to have a younger manager.
Jürgen Klopp
The Ex Liverpool coach would be a dream signing for Real Madrid and their fans. He is kind of a manager who shares emotion and dreams with the players and that is what the current set of players need. Klopp will be the perfect man for bringing all the “big players” into the same page. He is considered as a success in the Premier League and won’t hesitate to carry the burden of such a huge club on his shoulders. He has decided to take a leave from coaching currently but if he decides to make a comeback next season then Real Madrid is the destination.
Julian Nagelsmann
The young manager Real Madrid and their fans want can be Nagelsmann. He is currently with the German national team preparing for the World Cup 2026, but if such a big club demands, can he reject? He is a kind of manager with the modern philosophies and modern footballing approach that Real Madrid needs at the moment. He might be a dream Ancelotti replacement.
Zinedine Zidane
The former player and manager of the club Zidane can return to the club for his third spell. He is also suited for the France national team job but in case of a call from his own club it would be hard for him to decline. As he already got two successful spells at the club, he knows how the club works and how the players should be properly used when they have so many superstars packed in the team. Ancelotti would be happy if such a person takes on his team.
Xabi Alonso
The Spanish Liverpool legend, who is also an ex-Real Madrid player, is a huge sensation in the manager market at this moment. He had an outstanding season with Bayer Leverkusen last year, and he decided to stay there itself for one more year, although he had interest from Liverpool and other teams. This season his team is not matching last season’s tally, but still the manager has done a great job in developing the team chemistry, his own unique identity of playstyle, and tactical brilliance. Real Madrid should go for Xabi Alonso as he ticks almost all the boxes of their need.
