Who will replace Carlo Ancelotti? Next candidates and odds for Real Madrid manager

Carlo Ancelotti is expected to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season.

The Italian was uncommitted when asked about his future After the Champions League was defeated by Arsenal last night, Madrid is likely to move in a different direction in the summer.

It’s not an easy job for those who take over at the Santiago Bernabeu with teams that require a major reconstruction.

Here we look at candidates with all the odds offered by BET365 (correct as of 1300 UK time on April 17th)

Xabi Alonso – Evens

The outstanding candidate and the one already in charge said they didn’t choose to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another year after leading the team to their first Bundesliga title last season.

Recently asked what he was trying to do at the end of this season, the former Madrid midfielder is vague and wouldn’t be surprised if negotiations had already begun.

Alonso has struggled to replicate his success last season and may not be able to get another chance at a job of this size.

Jurgen Klopp -5/2

Klopp left Liverpool at the end of last season and took on a job as head of Red Bull’s global football, and was tasked with managerial operations for a stable club.

However, the report suggests that he is already disillusioned and is looking at his return to management.

He, like Ancelotti, is linked to the work of the Brazilian national team, but the club’s work in Europe appears to be healthier.

Germans will bring energy to Madrid, which is rarely seen.

Andoni Iraaura-5/1

Iraora has done a great job at Bournemouth, another idea to be praised by Madrid’s President Florentino Perez.

The quiet and modest Basque takes time to implement, but takes a devastating high-tempo brand of football given the player caliber he has at his disposal.

The question is, how do people who have run small clubs in their coaching careers deal with the enormous demands placed on the bosses of Real Madrid?

Zinedine Zidane – 12/1

Madrid has a habit of going back for his former manager. Fabio Capello and Ancelotti both had two spells, but for Zidane it would be a third.

The Frenchman has not appeared again in management after leaving Madrid twice in May 2021. And while he is deeply tied to Didier Deschamps’ replacement when he resigns as French boss following next summer’s World Cup, don’t be surprised if he shakes off at the Bernabeu instead.

He was extremely successful with two spells as a boss, winning two La Liga titles and a Champions League three times.

Michelle – 20/1

The former Real Madrid midfielder was a well-known player for the Los Blancos and was a contestant of over 400.

He worked temporarily in the Real Madrid youth system, but was fired following a disagreement with then-President Ramon Calderon.

He enjoys his glove trotting career with spells such as Getafe, Sevilla, and Marseille. He is the current boss of Arcadosia on the Saudi Arabian side.

Other candidates

Former Madrid striker Raul (8/1) is currently in charge of the club’s reserve, Side Castila, and could be promoted.

Jose Mourinho (16/1) is a very external shot given that his career appears to be waning.

A huge number of people on the upward trajectory are Mikel Arteta (33/1). Could the man who influenced the downfall of Madrid last night come to their rescue?
