Real Madrid has long faced an uneasy predicament about the management post. Carlo Ancelotti is an excellent strategist who has recently had some difficult times. The Italians' ideas are failing, and the world knows it.

Real Madrid is also aware of the problem. They looked at several choices on the market, and one individual seemed to have captured their attention. Los Blancos' interest in Bayer Leverkusen's manager and former La Decima star Xabi Alonso is not unknown.

Alonso has shown to be a successful manager in Germany, guiding Bayer Leverkusen to an explosive season last year. His tactics are spectacular and phenomenal, especially for a young and active manager. He possesses all of the qualities necessary to lead Real Madrid's star-studded team.

Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid could be this summer or the next

Amidst the whispers of Carlo Ancelotti's likely dismissal, ace journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the Xabi Alonso situation.

The journalist turned to his YouTube channel to back up his claim that Xabi Alonso is destined to be Real Madrid's manager. Romano stated that the Spaniard might be signed by Los Blancos this summer or next. He went on to explain why, despite interest from prominent European teams, Alonso opted to stay with Leverkusen.

He explained that Alonso chose not to join clubs such as Bayern Munich because he knew he would one day be the manager of Real Madrid. According to Romano, Alonso is now focused on Leverkusen, but the manager is aware that his move to Real Madrid might happen this summer or next.

Given all that has transpired with Carlo Ancelotti's predicament, an exit for the Italian at the end of the season is more likely than ever. Many publications have suggested that this is most likely his final season with Los Blancos, unless something spectacular happens.

What happens with Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid depends substantially, if not entirely, on Ancelotti's future. The following days will be critical in the deal.
