Everything points to Real Madrid being eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals. After a 0-3 first-leg defeat to Arsenal, a small miracle would have to happen in the return match for Ancelotti’s team to advance. However, if anyone were to pull off such a feat, it would seem that it would be Real at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid is looking for Ancelotti’s successor. Will they take… Jürgen Klopp?
Only, it is more likely that Real will be eliminated. What is more, they are currently losing the fight for the Spanish championship. There is less and less indication that Carlo Ancelotti will pull the team out of the hole it is in, also because he may simply not get the chance to do so. For many months, there have been rumours about the Italian’s successor, who may part ways with Real before the end of his contract valid until 2026. Until now, the most common name was Xabi Alonso from Bayer Leverkusen, but now the club from Madrid is supposed to turn its eyes in a different direction.
At the end of March, a rumor appeared that Real could be headed to… Juergen Klopp. Now, the Spanish “Sport” is writing about this candidacy, which claims that the name of the German coach has actually started to appear in Madrid’s offices.
“In recent days, a number of football agents have begun to suggest that Jurgen Klopp is an option gaining popularity at the Santiago Bernabeu. People close to Florentino Perez suggest that the German could be the only candidate capable of fixing the tactical mess that has plagued the current season. Signing Klopp would make an immediate impact, with the German having plenty of room to manoeuvre and perhaps being able to withstand the pressure at a club that wants to win everything at all costs,” the report reads.
According to the newspaper, Carlo Ancelotti’s future depends almost entirely on what happens at 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16. We encourage you to follow the Real Madrid – Arsenal match on everydaywinningtip.com and in the Sport LIVE mobile application.
