Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has come out to address the rumours which claimed Xabi Alonso could succeed him as the next coach. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he once coached Alonso as a player, and he loved working with him because he has a high-level knowledge of football.
Ancelotti added that Alonso is currently doing well with Bayer Leverkusen, and he hopes to see him manage Real Madrid someday.
His words, “I had him (Alonso) as a player. He has a high-level knowledge of football, he is doing very well with Bayer Leverkusen. I wish him to be here one day, like Raúl or Arbeloa. They are people I know and I love them very much. I hope one day they can be Real Madrid coaches.”
“Everyone knows that I’m very happy here, I feel very good here, but it’s not the most important subject to talk about (contract renewal). There are a lot of games. It (criticism) doesn’t bother me at all. Everyone can say what they want, but I have to focus on my work.”
