Bistro: Real Madrid has not announced the suspension of Ancelotti, Alonso is in a dilemma

12:35pm, 30 April 2025Football

"Is Ancelotti really going to be dismissed?"

"Is this what Real Madrid said, but Real Madrid has not officially announced it yet."

Leverkusen's embarrassment: Alonso's future is uncertain

On April 28, Leverkusen defeated Augsburg 2-0 at home, achieving a refreshing victory. However, the joy of this victory cannot completely cover up the haze that shrouded in Bayer Arena. All this comes from a report from Bistro: Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti's future is confusing, which makes Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso's situation extremely embarrassing. At the post-match press conference, Alonso always maintained a cautious attitude when facing reporters' questions about his future whereabouts. When asked if he understood the fans’ desire to stay at the team, he simply gave a brief “yes” accompanied by a meaningful smile. In this smile, there is gratitude for the support of the fans and helplessness for their own future. He did not give any definite answers, nor did he make any remarks related to Real Madrid, which invisibly increased the outside world's speculation about the rumors of Ancelotti's dismissal and the speculation about where Alonso was going. This prudence may be due to respect for Real Madrid's official statement, and may also include considerations for one's own career. The anxiety of the players and the calmness of the sports director

Leverkusen's players are obviously annoyed by the uncertainty of the team's head coach position. "Of course we hope Alonso stayed," a player who did not want to be named complained privately, "But this is all hanging, who is at ease?" There was a tense atmosphere inside the team, and the players on the training ground also looked a little solemn.

Unlike the players' anxiety, Leverkusen sports director Simon Rollfies was more calm. "The situation is indeed a bit complicated, but we have begun to prepare for the possibilities," Rollfies told reporters. "If Alonso eventually leaves, we have already set out to find a suitable successor." He stressed that the club is actively taking action and believes that a head coach can be found who can lead the team forward. This calmness may be the experience learned from years of career, or the confidence in the club's future development direction.

Real Madrid's expectations and Leverkusen's dilemma

Real Madrid has lost no results this season and failed to achieve satisfactory results in La Liga and the Champions League, which makes the club's senior management hope to make drastic reforms in the offseason. They have a crush on Alonso's coaching ability and hope to invite him to coach Real Madrid next season and lead the team back to the top.

For Leverkusen, Alonso's stay and leave is directly related to the team's future development. If Alonso leaves, the team will face the dilemma of a head coach vacancy, which will directly affect the team's preparations and the morale of the players. This is not only a head coach's departure, but also a major challenge to the stability of a team and future development direction. The report of the newspaper and the confusing future have undoubtedly added more variables to this situation that is already full of uncertainty. The authenticity of this report still needs to be confirmed by Real Madrid, but it has caused an uproar enough to cause a sensation, causing Leverkusen Club and Alonso himself to fall into deep confusion. Next, everything can only be waited for the official official statement from Real Madrid. And this waiting period is undoubtedly a long and torment for Leverkusen.
