Siro López indicated on El Partidazo de COPE that Davide Ancelotti, who left Botafogo after just five months, could join Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s coaching bench is once again at the center of the debate far beyond in the Spanish press. Despite recent victories against Alavés in La Liga and Talavera in the Copa del Rey, the team’s performances are not convincing. The collective effort is not taking off, and concerns are growing within the club that Xabi Alonso’s project may not live up to expectations. – What gnaws the most is Barcelona’s La Liga lead of 4 points.

In Valdebebas, they are aware that results keep the manager alive, but they also know that the margins of error are shrinking. Qualifying for the Copa del Rey against an opponent from the Primera RFEF brought more doubt than certainty, and sparked rumours of a possible change of manager.
The upcoming games will be very important for Xabi Alonso, anything short of a string of three-pointers will reinforce the rumours of a farewell on grey paper.
Xabi Alonso, scarce results and conflicts
Real Madrid had hoped that Xabi Alonso would bring stability, identity and a qualitative leap in the game, but this season’s development has not met expectations. Despite important victories, the team’s collective performance raises doubts both among the fans and parts of the board. The lack of consistency in the game, defensive problems and dependence on individual actions have nurtured a sense of fragility.
In Chamartín, they appreciate Xabi Alonso’s familiarity with the club and his personality, but every match is scrutinized. Real Madrid’s demands leave little room for concessions, especially when the team struggles to assert itself against clearly inferior opponents. The Copa del Rey, instead of being a turning point, has increased the pressure on the coach, who must convince with football rather than just results.
Davide Ancelotti emerges as an unexpected opportunity
In the last few hours, a name that has surprised many has appeared. Siro López at El Partidazo de COPE revealed that Davide Ancelotti could be on Real Madrid’s table. The young Italian coach has just resigned as Botafogo’s coach, ending his first experience as head coach, which has been positively assessed in Brazil.
Davide Ancelotti knows Real Madrid and its environment perfectly. For years, he was an assistant to his father, Carlo Ancelotti, at the Santiago Bernabéu, which has allowed him to immerse himself in the club’s demands, handling of the dressing room and media pressure. This past experience speaks in his favor, especially in a context as delicate as the current one.

Davide Ancelotti has resigned as coach of Botafogo.
His tenure at Botafogo yielded good results. He reached the quarter-finals of the Copa Betano and finished sixth in Serie A Betano, securing the Brazilian club a place in the qualifying rounds of the next Copa Libertadores. This record strengthens his candidacy as a coach with the potential and ability to take on greater challenges.
Real Madrid consider options in an open scenario
Real Madrid does not take decisions lightly, but no scenario is ruled out. Davide Ancelotti would not be a continuity move, although his understanding of the club and the squad could facilitate a less traumatic transition if a change of coach were to happen. His young profile, preparedness, and modern ideas fall in line with the club’s recent explorations.
For now, Xabi Alonso remains in charge and holds his fate in his hands. However, the noise around the coach’s bench persists, and every game becomes a crucial test. Real Madrid monitors, analyzes and prepares the ground in case a quick action becomes necessary.
The coming weeks will be crucial. If the team does not improve their performance and solidity, Real Madrid may be forced to act. In that scenario, Davide Ancelotti’s name is no longer just speculation; It is a real alternative that is gaining importance in the white club’s offices.
