Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso is considered the main candidate to replace Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, according to journalist Christian Falk.
"Xabi Alonso is the main candidate to replace Carlo Ancelotti in 2024. There were such ideas this summer, but Alonso has taken a very clear position. He told Bayer that he would not leave this summer because he knows he is still inexperienced. He also said he would not put the club in that position.
But in 2024, there will be no reason if Real Madrid makes an offer. Of course, he is interested, and Bayer know that there is an option for Real Madrid to come for him. I think he has the best chance of getting the job now," Falk wrote.
As a reminder, Carlo Ancelotti has signed a contract with the Brazilian national team and will leave Real Madrid in the summer of 2024.
