Alonso will take over the Real Madrid position, give up the decision-making power to sign for three years, and strengthen the central defender is the key

The story between Real Madrid and Ancelotti will come to an end again. Considering that Ancelotti is 65 years old, it is not very likely that he will be associated with Real Madrid again in the future. Long after losing to the Kings Cup, there would be basically no big surprise that Ancelotti would leave Real Madrid. Now it is just that the media has confirmed the news. Reports from Spanish media Le Marca said that Ancelotti will leave after the last La Liga match and will not lead the team to participate in the Club World Cup, and Alonso will become Real Madrid's new head coach.

It is reported that Alonso will come to the Bernabeu with his coaching team. The club has prepared a three-year contract for him, and his annual salary can basically be consistent with Ancelotti. Based on previous news, Florentino played a very critical role in inviting Alonso to coach, and his recognition of Alonso is the key to the rapid agreement of this signing. As for Alonso's attitude, it is also clear. Few clubs can refuse invitations from Real Madrid, and Alonso is no exception.

43-year-old Alonso has coached Real Madrid's echelon for a short time, and has coaching experience in Real Madrid. This return to Real Madrid also faces considerable challenges for him. The first question I face is whether the team's lineup needs to be adjusted in the summer window, after all, the team's performance this season has not met expectations. Spanish media said that Real Madrid's management will not give too much budget to sign up in the summer window this year. On the one hand, Real Madrid's current lineup is strong enough to cope with most games. They choose to continue to trust current players, and on the other hand, their financial budget is limited.

This is not the most critical issue. The most critical issue is that Alonso still does not have the decision-making power to sign, and only has the same advice right as Ancelotti, and will not actually participate in the club's signing. This right has always been in the hands of Real Madrid's management, to be precise, in the hands of Florentino. No matter which head coach takes office, he will not give up this part of his rights easily. Looking at this issue from another perspective, Alonso still wants to make his own tactical adjustments within the scope designated by Lord Lafayette.

Real Madrid's lineup is not weak, but the gap in strength between front and back courts is too big. Once there is injury problem, the team's performance will be greatly affected. Judging from the current situation, the existing lineup will remain unchanged next season. As long as you strengthen the position of the central defender, Real Madrid will also make significant improvements. If there is a top midfield passer, Real Madrid will usher in a qualitative change. However, this requirement still seems too high. With Arnold already joining, Real Madrid may only make adjustments in the central defender position.
