5 managers who could succeed Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti had Real Madrid firing on all cylinders at the start of the season, much to the delight of the Los Blancos faithful. The Spanish giants were by far the best team in La Liga during the first few months of the term, establishing a decent lead atop the table.
Unfortunately, the last few days have been a totally different story for the Italian. Ancelotti has come under fire after his team suffered a 4-0 humiliation against Barcelona in El Clasico at home recently. Apart from the embarrassing scoreline, the tactician's poor tactics during the game infuriated many.
From being hailed as a hero at the Santiago Bernabeu to being subjected to intense criticism, things have quickly turned sour for the Real Madrid manager. The Italian's job in the Spanish capital may not be safe right now.
Should the club decide to part ways with the 62-year-old anytime soon, there are a few decent options take up the job at the Santiago Bernabeu. On that note, here's a look at five such men:
#5 Massimiliano Allegri
Massimiliano Allegri returned to Juventus last summer, but it's quite unfortunate that his return to the club hasn't had the desired effect.
As things stand, the Bianconeri are seemingly out of the race for the Serie A title. Moreover, they still have some work to do to secure their participation in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Allegri's men are currently fourth in the standings with 59 points in 30 games. The Old Lady could decide to part ways with the tacticcian if things don't look u[ in the coming weeks. It's believed they're currently looking at Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag as a potential replacement.
Should Allegri and Carlo Ancelotti lose their respective jobs, replacing the latter at Real Madrid may not be a distant dream for the Juventus gaffer.
#4 Andre Villas-Boas
Portuguese manager Andre Villas-Boas is also one of the few tacticians who could end up replacing Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. In fact, the tactician has been linked with a switch to the Spanish capital on several occasions.
1.70 - Frank Lampard has averaged 1.70 points per game as Chelsea manager, the same record as André Villas-Boas at the club in the Premier League. Stumble.
