Real Madrid keeping tabs on former midfielder as a future managerial candidate

Sunday could be the day that Carlo Ancelotti oversees Real Madrid win their fifth piece of silverware since his return. Coupled with the four trophies he won in his first stint, it is clear that the Italian tactician has left a special mark on the club’s history.

Rumours over his job being at risk have floated around the media for days now, especially given Real Madrid’s sub-optimal form. Yet, Ancelotti is the best manager the European Champions can hope for a variety of reasons.

For starters, the men in white have always shown to have a spark and cutting edge under the Italian tactician. Moreover, having a stable presence on the sidelines gives the administration enough time to scout for a new candidate.

But, there have been some murmurs over his future, while his contract also expires next year. So, it should not come as a surprise that Los Blancos have a list of possible replacements in place.
