Something I kept asking myself when I read this news was the following:
If the Real Madrid coach is leaving, then why did they rush to close a deal with Trent Alexander Arnold?
Because it would make more sense to wait for the season to end, then the Real Madrid coach would leave the team and the Real Madrid board would hire another coach and that new coach would decide who to hire or not. But it seems to me that it is not the coaches who decide who to hire, but rather the club's top management. The next coach will have a lot of headaches if Carlo Ancelotti really leaves.
It may not make sense to us but for the club management this has become a rule and the new coach job is to try to ensure and utilize what the club has provided. Regardless of the player not being the new coach choice, that's the fact of how Madrid management works. Plus TAA is not a difficult player to overcome, he is experienced and the challenge is for the new coach to be able or not to make him the puzzle piece that Madrid needs.
All conclusions about whether or not the new coach will have a headache are not yet completely certain.
