Carlo Ancelotti on Xabi Alonso's future

After Bayer Leverkusen announced the departure of Spanish coach Xabi Alonso at the end of the season, it seems that the Spanish coach's fate is still fluctuating between reports linking him to Real Madrid or other teams, meaning that the Xabi's future is still unsettled after leaving Bayer Leverkusen.

What Carlo Ancelotti had to say about Xabi Alonso!

In Carlo Ancelotti's final press conference before facing Barcelona in El Clásico on Sunday: He was asked about Xabi Alonso's future and replied: "All possibilities and doors are open".

The young Spanish coach is one of the best coaches in the world at the moment. The arrival of the coach at Real Madrid would not come as a surprise, as many reports have suggested that the former Liverpool and Real Madrid player is heavily tipped to be Carlo Ancelotti's successor at Real Madrid.

When asked about his future, the veteran manager drew poetic parallels between his bond with Real Madrid and lasting romance.

"This club’s honeymoon phase never truly fades," Ancelotti reflected. "Like my time at AC Milan, Madrid etches itself deeper into your heart than most. The passion may evolve, but the connection endures."

He elaborated with relationship metaphors: "Every great love starts with intensity, then matures into something richer. Even when the early fire settles, what remains is unwavering affection. My honeymoon with Real Madrid? It’s lifelong."

Xabi Alonso's big success with Bayer Leverkusen!

The 2023/24 season will be remembered as a golden chapter in the club's history, with an invincible Bundesliga triumph marking their first-ever league title. While Bayern Munich have since reclaimed the crown, that remarkable unbeaten campaign cemented their place among Germany's elite.

Their trophy haul extended beyond the league, capturing a historic second DFB Pokal and adding the DFL-Supercup to their cabinet. European adventures brought both heartbreak and promise - a Europa League final defeat to Atalanta (3-0) coming just a year after reaching the semifinals in Alonso's debut season, showcasing their growing continental pedigree.
