Carlo Ancelotti names former Real Madrid midfielder as likely successor
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti heaped praise on Xabi Alonso and earmarked him as a possible future head coach of the club.
Speaking ahead of the side's fixture against Las Palmas, the Italian stated that Alonso's understanding of the game made him a great managerial candidate. He said (via press conference):
"I had Xabi Alonso as a player," Ancelotti said in a news conference on Tuesday ahead of Madrid's LaLiga game with Las Palmas. "He has a high-level knowledge of football. He's doing very well with Bayer Leverkusen. He has that reading [of the game], that capacity."
Alonso has played under some of football's greatest managers, including the likes of Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho. He began his coaching career with Los Blancos' academy before a three-year stint with Real Sociedad.
In 2022, he was appointed as the manager of Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen and lifted the side from a relegation battle, securing a spot for Europa League qualification. This season, they are second in the table to Bayern Munich only on goal difference after five games.
Ancelotti also mentioned Raul and Alvaro Arbeloa, saying:
"I think one day -- for Raul [Gonzalez], for [Alvaro] Arbeloa, for Xabi Alonso -- their biggest wish is to coach Real Madrid and I want that for them because I know them all, I love them all. Let's hope that one day they can be Real Madrid coaches."
Raul currently serves as the manager for the reserve side RM Castilla, while Arbeloa is the manager of RM Juvenil A, the U-19 side.
