Xabi Alonso arrives with the axe: the 6 players from Madrid he wouldn't count on in 2024

The 2024/25 season is approaching, and with it, the search for a new coach at Real Madrid is in full swing. Carlo Ancelotti, the current coach, is in the final stages of his tenure, and signs indicate that the club's president, Florentino Pérez, does not plan to extend his contract beyond this season (he will also take over the Brazil national team in June next year). This has triggered growing speculation about the possibility of Xabi Alonso taking charge of the white team.

The Spanish coach has been gaining weight as a candidate to lead the first team. Initially supported by Florentino Pérez, his name has risen to become the main option of the entire board of directors. Consequently, his ideas and vision for the team are being considered with great seriousness, as reported this Wednesday by the madridista site RealMadridConfidencial.
