As replacement for Ancelotti, it is clear that Real Madrid wants Xabi Alonso and he also expressed his willingness to train Real Madrid but with a fairly high salary, but looking at Xabi Alonso performance, it seems that Real Madrid will comply with the salary request.
Now they will also take Alexander Arnold and it is certain that in the next transfer window Real Madrid will spend enough money to have an increasingly strong squad.
Zidane is actually also great coach, in fact his previous track record when coaching Real Madrid was very good and he managed to win three UCL titles with Real Madrid.
But I not sure Zidane will want to return to coaching Real Madrid again.
It is reported that Ancelotti will leave Real madrid to coach the Brazilian national team, rumors are that Xabi Alonso is a strong candidate to be Ancelotti's replacement and this was also approved by Ancelotti himself to replace himself as coach of Real madrid and also received a warm welcome from Real Madrid fans, Jose Mourinho once said that Xabi Alonso would be A great coach. He said that Xabi Alonso has a very good knowledge of the game on the field, this has been shown with the current Bayer 04 Leverkusen team. and it looks like it will happen soon.
Well, Ancelotti has an agreement that he will go to coach the Brazilian national team after leaving Real Madrid and the Brazilian president also hopes that Ancelotti can make big achievements at the 2026 World Cup.
Currently there are lots of rumors about Xabi Alonso who will replace Ancelotti and this news is really the news that Real Madrid fans are hoping for because in Xabi Alonso hands they hope that Real Madrid will return to being team that can dominate the entire league.

When Zidane coached Madrid he was at the right time with a star-studded composition of players. So the challenge now is definitely different where Zidane is required to manage young seeds. Therefore, it is quite reasonable for Madrid to bring in Xabi Alonso, who in fact currently still has the status of team coach, coupled with Leverkusen achievements in being able to sit firmly at the top of the Bundesliga standings, this has further increased Madrid's interest. I think Xabi Alonso is at the right moment to make his name and career right now.
So, that was the momentum that really benefited Zidane when he became Real Madrid coach and with the presence of several star players, Real Madrid had the highest caste as very strong team and could defeat anyone who faced them.
But now Real Madrid also has fairly good composition of players whose age is still considered productive, which can make it easier for Xabi Alonso to develop and develop the same strength.
Don't we really want to see this happen where Real Madrid creates feelings of anxiety towards other teams who will fight for the title from La Liga or UCL.
