Xabi Alonso would be a suitable replacement for Ancelloti and is certain to be Ancelloti's successor next season. Xabi Alonso knows Real Madrid well so it won't be difficult for him to develop his game to be better next season, as long as the support of the players he has is much better than before. Ancelotti has already made his debut with the Brazilian national team and although the results were less than satisfactory, there is a difference in the style of play aimed at by the Brazilian squad and they are much more coordinated with each other.
