Real Madrid are reportedly considering their options for a managerial change following their crushing defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.
While Carlo Ancelotti retains the club’s backing for now, reports suggest that the hierarchy is actively exploring potential successors in case the need arises.

According to Relevo, former Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari is seen as the top candidate to take over in an interim capacity if a change becomes unavoidable. Solari, who previously managed the team during the 2018/19 season, is viewed as a reliable option to steady the ship on short notice.
Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso, a former Real Madrid midfielder and current Bayer Leverkusen manager, is said to have his sights set on the top job at the Santiago Bernabéu. Alonso reportedly believes his opportunity to lead Los Blancos will come sooner rather than later, though the timing remains uncertain.
The decision may hinge on Real Madrid’s performance in La Liga and the Champions League this season. With mounting pressure on Ancelotti to deliver results, the club’s management appears to be preparing contingency plans should the Italian fail to meet expectations.
The next few months could prove decisive in shaping the managerial future of Real Madrid.
