Real Madrid thinks of life after Carlo Ancelotti, and although Xabi Alonso is the obvious successor, he is not the only option considered by the club's board of directors.
Earlier this week, reports from England claimed that former Rayo Vallecano head coach Andoni Iraola, who is currently in charge of Premier League High-Flyers AFC Bournemouth, is also on the shortlist who was established by Real Madrid.
It is not only Real Madrid that Iraola has on their radar, because it has also been reported that Tottenham Hotspur would like to make their next manager the 42-year-old should be fired.
Despite all the noise around his future, Iraola does not pay attention. According to MD, he told the media on Friday that his only focus is on Bournemouth, although he has denied none of the rumors.
“I have been in this company as a player and as a coach for many years, and I know how these things work and what is important and what is not. Nothing changes for me. The most important thing that is against Wolves this week. “
Iraola has been a top manager for several years now, although it is only this season that he has started to get recognition outside of Spain. There is no doubt that he would be a suitable candidate to replace Ancelotti if he is no longer head coach of Real Madrid, although it is clear that Alonso is still the clear favorite, especially since Bayer Leverkusen does not stand in the way if he decides That he wants to take over it at the Santiago Bernabeu when the position of the manager becomes available.
For now, speculation remains exactly that. Real Madrid is not expected to tackle Ancelotti's position until the summer, despite reports that Alonso's will be established earlier.
