Just when Real Madrid seemed to be on the right track, doubts began to swirl around the future of manager Xabi Alonso. Despite the team’s solid results, the loss to Liverpool and the goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano left a negative impression. Even more concerning is the possibility that the Spanish coach might be facing a deeper crisis within the dressing room.
Alonso, who began his tenure at the Santiago Bernabéu with a strong desire to impose his strict rules and earn the players’ respect, is now facing challenges with some of the team’s key players, notably Vinicius Junior and Fede Valverde. There are also issues with other players due to a lack of playing time. Even Brahim Diaz, Rodrygo Goes, and Andrique have not found regular opportunities under his management.

As the atmosphere of concern grows within the club, Alonso’s future is in jeopardy. If he fails to win any titles this season, his dismissal at the end of the season could be inevitable. In that case, Real Madrid would have to search for a new manager.
Florentino Pérez has Jürgen Klopp at the top of his list of options.
Despite speculation surrounding Xabi Alonso’s potential successors, Jürgen Klopp remains the most talked-about coach at Real Madrid. Pérez, who believes Klopp’s philosophy aligns with Real Madrid’s ambitions, may pursue the German manager should Alonso fail. Klopp, who has made history with Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, has been without a club for over a year, making him an ideal candidate to lead the club in the future.
