The defeat at Anfield has raised many questions in the last few hours. The “COPE” channel reported that Real Madrid has already identified a potential replacement for Carlo Ancelotti.
The match against Liverpool served as a new alarm bell within the club, as it made the team’s future in the Champions League even more complicated. With three defeats in five matches, the club is on the verge of an early exit from European competitions. In this context, it seems that Florentino Pérez has started preparing for a possible change in coach.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper, doubts about Carlo Ancelotti’s situation have increased more than ever, especially due to the team’s modest performance at the beginning of the season. Following the latest defeat at Anfield, Roberto Morales reported on the program “El Partidazo de Cope” that his internal sources confirmed to him that Santiago Solari had been informed two weeks ago to prepare to take over the role.
It appears that Pérez may once again consider hiring Solari to take charge of the team, as he did in the past. Although Ancelotti’s future is not yet definitively decided, the coming weeks will reveal the fate of the Italian coach. As Morales added in his report: “If Ancelotti does not continue, Solari will be the option, and he has already been informed of this.”
If the results continue to decline, Ancelotti’s departure from the club may be closer than expected. Solari has unofficially started positioning himself as one of the names put forward to succeed the Italian coach, should the club be forced to make such a decision.
