Real Madrid board is about to sack Carlo Ancelotti and appoint this world class manager after a poor performance this season

Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure as Real Madrid manager appears to be drawing to a close following the team’s crushing Champions League quarterfinal exit at the hands of Arsenal. The 2-1 loss at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night not only sealed Madrid’s elimination from the prestigious competition but also cast a dark cloud over Ancelotti’s future with the club.

Ancelotti’s post-match comments did little to dispel the speculation surrounding his position, as he candidly acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his tenure. According to a report from Sky Sports, it is now widely expected that Ancelotti will part ways with the club after next weekend’s Copa del Rey final against arch-rivals Barcelona.

The timing of Ancelotti’s anticipated departure is particularly noteworthy, as the Copa del Rey final could potentially be his last opportunity to salvage some silverware this season. Meanwhile, rumors about Ancelotti’s next destination have begun to gain traction, with Brazil reportedly expressing interest in hiring him as their new head coach.

A representative from the Brazilian Football Confederation was spotted in the stands at the Bernabéu during Madrid’s loss to Arsenal, fueling speculation that discussions are indeed underway. As the club prepares for a potential managerial transition, the spotlight is now shifting to who might succeed Ancelotti in the dugout.

Several high-profile names have been linked to the job, including former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and current Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso. Klopp’s wealth of experience and charisma would undoubtedly make him an attractive candidate, while Alonso’s rapid rise as a young manager in Europe has generated significant interest in him.

There’s also a possibility that Real Madrid might opt for a more pragmatic approach, promoting Santiago Solari from within to guide the team through the remainder of the season until a permanent replacement is appointed. As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain: the future of Real Madrid’s managerial position is poised to take center stage in the coming weeks.
