The Italian will become the head coach of Brazil, while the ‘Blancos’ have chosen their coach of the future..
Despite Carlo Ancelotti‘s repeated dribbling, his landing on the Brazil national team bench after this season seems increasingly certain (the Brazilian Football Federation has never hidden their interest in the Italian coach). An additional, albeit indirect, confirmation comes from Spain, where RadioMarca assures that Real Madrid has decided on their next coach: Xabi Alonso.
For Xabi Alonso, it would be a return to Madrid: where he played there from 2009 to 2014 (in the final season, 2013-14, precisely with Ancelotti as the coach) amassing 236 appearances and winning a La Liga title, two Copa del Rey trophies, one Spanish Supercup, one Champions League, and one UEFA Super Cup.
Later, the Spaniard embarked on a coaching career, first with the Real Sociedad B team and then with Bayer Leverkusen, where he has continued to impress everyone: taking over in October 2022, he finished sixth last season, earning qualification for the Europa League, and this year, he has had an excellent start, giving Bayern Munich a run for their money in the Bundesliga.
According to RadioMarca, Xabi Alonso, who turns 42 in November, has definitively surpassed Raul in the internal hierarchies, Raul being the current coach of Real Madrid Castilla, who was aiming for a promotion to the first team.
