In a shocking turn of events, Real Madrid is set to part ways with Carlo Ancelotti mid-season, potentially ushering in Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp as the next manager, rather than Xabi Alonso.

Following a disappointing Champions League exit, where they suffered a staggering 5-1 aggregate defeat to Arsenal, Real Madrid has found itself in a precarious position. The team is also struggling in La Liga, trailing leaders Barcelona by four points, leading the club's management to reconsider Ancelotti's future.

Sky Sports has reported that Ancelotti's role is on the line, with April 26 set as a key date for his potential dismissal—coinciding with the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, which could serve as his last match at the helm.

As Ancelotti is rumored to be eyeing the Brazilian national team position, many anticipated that Alonso, currently managing Bayer Leverkusen, would step in as his successor.

However, shifting dynamics suggest Real Madrid may prioritize Klopp instead. According to Brazilian outlet UOL, Klopp is reportedly dissatisfied with his current role at Red Bull and would only consider leaving if presented with an opportunity at either Real Madrid or Brazil.

New reports from Sport reinforce the notion that Real Madrid views Klopp as the optimal candidate to rival German counterpart Hansi Flick and Barcelona. Significantly, Klopp appears receptive to a return to club management, opening the door for a potential alliance with talents like Trent Alexander-Arnold, who may join the squad via free agency.

The club's wavering interest in Alonso stems from doubts regarding his readiness to manage during this turbulent time, compounded by an inconsistent season at Leverkusen.

With Klopp gaining traction as the prime candidate, Real Madrid fans are left on the edge of their seats, awaiting a dramatic managerial shift that could redefine the club's fortunes.
