Carlo Ancelotti's potential replacements at Real Madrid

After an embarrassing 1-3 defeat in the Champions League against AC Milan, Real Madrid are in crisis and the boos have returned in the Spanish capital.

The team hasn't found its rhythm yet, while injuries have not helped either. The last two defeats at home (against Barcelona in LaLiga and Milan in the Champions League) have brought uncertainty to the Madrid bench.

Ancelotti has been, is and will be always be a Real Madrid legend, and it seems difficult for the club to bid farewell to him before the end of the season, but everyone knows that the club is always considering options for what might happen. These are the potential candidates to replace 'Carletto' on the bench.

His CV as a coach is impeccable, his love for Real Madrid unquestionable, and his ability to manage stars undeniable. Florentino Perez is in love with 'Zizou' and the feeling is mutual, making him the first choice in case of emergency.

Moreover, it has always been Zidane's dream to coach Kylian Mbappe, who is currently wearing the Real Madrid No.9 shirt.

The dream coach of the Real Madrid fans. Xabi Alonso is young, modern, open to changes of style and promotes a style of play and pressure that the Bernabéu values highly.

There is much talk of the possibility of Alonso coming to Real Madrid in the summer of 2025. It seems unlikely that Real Madrid would rush his arrival and leave Bayer Leverkusen without a coach in the middle of the season. That would not be worthy of a club like Real Madrid, nor of a man with class like Alonso.

The Real Madrid legend has now spent six seasons in charge of Real Madrid Castilla, Real's second team, with questionable results. Moreover, he has announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season to seek his fortune at a higher level.

Therefore, it seems unlikely for the Real Madrid board to appoint a new coach who will jump ship in the summer of 2025, even if the coach of the reserve team has always been the natural replacement.

Like Zidane, Alvaro Arbeloa has always been a big favourite of Florentino Perez. The former right-back is a pure ‘madridista’ and his philosophy as a coach could not be more admired at the club.

As a youth coach, he introduced good play, goals and a philosophy that the club greatly appreciates, to the point that many see him as the perfect complement to Xabi Alonso as assistant coach. He is an option to consider if Ancelotti abruptly leaves the bench.

He is Real Madrid's current football director, but already imposed an iron fist and discipline in the dressing room as a first-team manager.

Despite the fact that his results in the first team were not as expected, he is still highly regarded by the Madrid management, but it seems unlikely that he will leave his current position.

The club is happy with Davide's work as Carlo's assistant manager and is aware of the modernisation he has brought to the coaching staff. However, it would be strange for him to take over from his father.

Moreover, it would be good for Davide, who is only 35, to establish himself, grow as a coach and return to Real Madrid in the future. Who do you think should replace Carlo Ancelotti?
