Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid is reportedly at risk due to internal tensions among the players, despite his success last season. The team has had a disappointing start to the 2024/25 campaign, falling behind in La Liga and underperforming in the Champions League. Reports suggest a rift is forming as some key players are prioritizing personal goals over collective success.

The loss of leadership figures like Toni Kroos has further destabilized the squad. If performances don’t improve, Xabi Alonso has been named as a potential successor​This instability comes at a time when Real Madrid has struggled to keep pace with their main rivals. Their underwhelming form has raised concerns about Ancelotti’s ability to galvanize the squad, with certain players reportedly losing faith in his methods. His leadership is under scrutiny, as the individual goals of players are overshadowing team cohesion. The absence of key veteran figures like Kroos, who provided much-needed leadership, has created a vacuum in the locker room.

Ancelotti, a five-time Champions League winner, now faces mounting pressure to find solutions. As the international break offers a brief pause, he must quickly steer the team back on course or risk being replaced. If results continue to falter, the club may turn to Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso, whose success in the Bundesliga has made him a top candidate​
