I doubt that the wife really is an issue if everything else would be perfect for him, but Alonso could indeed be a competitor for the position as a coach at Real Madrid. Because I can imagine that Real Madrid would like to have the position be occupied long term with a trainer who has great prospects for the future. Xabi Alonso could be that kind of guy while I doubt that Zidane would commit to a long term engagement with any club except for the national team. He prefers to have flexibility and freedom and he knows that he will also be measured by his own achievements, which means not winning the Champions League would immediately raise questions even though it's unrealistic to win it all the time.

I don't think not matter who will filled David De Gea position between David Raya or Andre Onana will have poor performance due weakness of Manchester United defensive players. Comparison with David Raya achievement with previous teams is nothing depend with Andre Onana success managed Inter Milan to UFEA Champion League final stage than David Raya played with not top teams. But in this season he has good position after becoming regular position in last five matches with Arsenal, give difficult position for Ramsdale loss his regular position and he wants leave Arsenal as soon possible after not getting more minutes playing again. I am expected until the end season who will be better between David Raya as your favorite goals keeper or Andre Onana have better performance for the first season with Premier League competition.

Of course, Zidane is a coach who deserves to return to Madrid, even though amidst the discussions about Xabi Alonso, it is still Zidane's achievements that have proven to be prioritized. But the problem is, can that happen? because Zidane always couldn't leave France because his wife wanted to settle there. So this will continue to be an obstacle if we don't get an agreement with each other.

Back to Xabi Alonso whose career wants to develop and Madrid's offer is his opportunity to make that happen. In terms of convenience, in this case, Xabi Alonso can respond more quickly.

Lionel Messi's return would also affect two set of players, when they should be having enough minutes if not every minutes of the game for their growth. Raphina and Lamal both would be affected negatively with the return of Lionel Messi.
The finances secondly would be sent to the ground, to keep a player like Lionel Messi who has a very high technique, work rate, intelligence takes a lot when he was with Barcelona. Barcelona struggling with suffocating finances are not ready to see that.

I know Xavi Hernandez knows the qualities he brings into the squad, but I believe, it's best he creates his own Lionel Messi out of the players present. ( Achieving that would be difficult, but nothings impossible )

Another non sense story was coming from barcelona. This club is now targeting alvarez from manchester city which doesn't even make sense. City as a rich club will not let him go. This barcelona is a poor club right now.
Barcelona is not even thinking of paying the money owe by the club from other clubs. The better thing for manchester city to let alvarez stay even longer. Barcelona is a poor club with so many debts.

Selling alvarez to the barcelona will only make the money transfer owe by barcelona again. This club is having 240 millions debt still owe from the completed transfers of various clubs. It sounds nonsense if barcelona is targeting an impossible guy to be bought.
Xavi shall think about how to pay the money owe by his club. The better thing if barcelona must be sold to the big investors. Barcelona is not having good financial anymore. The club is nothing right now.
I hope other clubs who their money owe by barcelona will sue catalan.

Zinedine Zidane is yet to accept any managerial position since leaving Real Madrid, I often wonder why? Zinedine Zidane resigned by himself after watching the team declining in performance, he exited Santiago Bernabéu at critical time when they needed him the most. He created a deep path in the hearts of the Real Madrid supporters, though he's forgiven and remembered for elevating the club in UCL competition. Zinedine Zidane coming back to replace Carlo Ancelotti is basically impossible because Los Blancos have other coaches on their radar they're keen on signing.

You may able to see him back again to the real madrid soon. Im aware if many people are anticipating the old story to come again. I remember when ancellotti left real madrid a few years ago and zidane was being chosen as a new appointment.
It was also making zidane was helping real madrid to win three times UCL trophies in a row. Im not feeling doubt if the old story is going to repeat again. MY prediction is if ancellotti will leave from there and zidane will be back again.
Ancellotti has been building a great club and it's time for zidane to continue in managing the club. Probably another treble winners to come again. Real madrid is ready to winning many UCL trophies in a row.

I hope that perez will put zidane as the strongest candidate to be a new appointment after real madrid next year. The club really needs him at this moment.
Xabi is good but he lacks of experience as a coach. Zidane is three times UCL champions.

I suspect that Zidane will return to Real again if Real gets Mbappe (or Haaland). After Zidane won the Champions League three times in a row, he definitely doesn’t want to lower the bar, so he’s only waiting for a big project, he can’t lead the French national team because Deschamps gives results, so if Real tries hard, they can convince Zidane next summer. But if, as they say, the sheikhs buy Marseille, then I think that it will end up there.

David Raya was also a target for Manchester United but ended up choosing Onana, which in my opinion choosing Onana was a mistake. Today Raya proved that she is better than Onana, very clear and comparable over the last few kagas. Manchester United has again made the wrong decision in choosing a goalkeeper. There is a lot of praise that David Raya can get with Arsenal considering that if Arteta has given him a place and continues to be used as a starter, it means that Artets has great trust. It is possible that a permanent option will be realized next season. Ramsdale may have to be willing to share space because after all this is a risk he has to accept.

I haven't even seen any rumors let alone potential names as a replacement coach for Ancelotti next season because this is still uncertain.

The names that have emerged are only speculations (not rumors) from several people who are considered suitable as the new coach of Madrid after Ancelotti left for Brazil.
But that's just speculation and is suitable not as a rumor because after all this still cannot be said to be a rumor because Madrid itself still does not want to be open with their plans after Ancelotti leaves.

A few days ago I read a tweet from Romano reporting, Ancelotti: “Agreement with Brazil? It's all about rumors, links… I feel very good at Real Madrid as things stand”.

Maybe it seems, Don Carlo doesn't want to discuss his move while he is still managing Real Madrid. So, his current focus is really on his squad. But if Don Carlo really coached the Brazilian national team, there are actually many names that we would be able to associate as potential successors to Ancelotti. referring to what you said, I don't think it's time for Xabi Alonso to handle a club that is so big. even though in reality, he really is a coach with great potential.

Regarding Zidane, rumors of Zidane's return to Real Madrid are widely discussed. referring to several newspaper sources who reported that Zinedine Zidane was said to have the best chance of replacing Carlo Ancelotti. As we all know, it is widely reported that Real Madrid management is looking for a new figure to replace Carlo Ancelotti who will leave at the end of the season. Don Carlo is reportedly going to continue his pursuit as coach of the Brazilian national team. Regarding the potential replacement, I have not received any reports regarding the news that Zidane is ready to return to training. However, the potential is always there, especially since Madrid is Zidane's home. Unfortunately, we can't confirm anything yet. after all, Don Carlo is still the head coach for Los Blancos. So, let's just enjoy this season before Ancelotti actually trains the Brazilian national team in 2024.

I think it would be better for Xabi Alonso to continue coaching Laverkusen for the next season or two, if he succeeds in winning trophies with Laverkusen then Xabi will be respected more when coaching other bigger clubs like Real Madrid. His contract at Laverkusen will end in June 2026 and so far Xabi has been quite successful in boosting his club performance to a positive path by managing to sit at the top of the Bundesliga standings and Group H standings in the European League. His success in managing Laverkusen so far has been a strong factor for big clubs wanting to recruit him at the end of the season.

Zidane quality is not in doubt after being very successful in his first period with Los Blancos, he is the most suitable to coach Madrid after Ancelotti departure at the end of the season. With the legacy of players that Ancelotti will leave behind, I am quite sure that Zidane will again achieve greater success.

Xabi Alonso recently has giving his respond to this rumour that Alonso said it's too early to train Real Madrid because he said too Real Madrid is a big team in Europa so Alonso was not sure with his current experience he can able to bringing Real Madrid to performing well and gets the trophies and for now Alonso focus is for Leverkusen only so he want to help this team to gets the better results at Bundesliga and Europa League and after Xabi Alonso refuse this offer then only Zidane who deserved to being an Real Madrid manager and replace Ancelotti but now it's just only speculate because whether it Zidane or Real Madrid hasn't give their statement yet but indeed from the history Zidane is the right person who train Real Madrid this because previously he has successfully to bringing Real Madrid to gets the trophies as a manager or as a player

For the SPL apart from Ronaldo being the highest paid player he is also the best player owned by Al Nassr it is even possible that this season Ronaldo can catch up and get the title of top scorer for the SPL.
What Ronaldo has given to Al Nassr is truly great and extraordinary because not many players can make big contribution like Ronaldo.
In the SPL news Ronaldo is always player who is hotly discussed and many Saudi football fans are now fans of Ronaldo.

Mbappe, Mohammed Salah and Messi may be able to play for high wages in the SPL but they rejected the offer from the Saudi team because they still have other goals to pursue as career as football player.
Like Mbappe still wants the UCL title so it impossible for him to go to Saudi and play there.

Indeed, there are 2 candidates to become the new coach who will replace Ancelotti, but there is something that I am worried about here, as you said, that Ancelotti actually still deserves to be Real Madrid's coach with the success that has been given to date is still very clear and if forced by Real Madrid Having to replace Zidane probably won't be a big problem because in history Zidane has had experience at this club so it doesn't take much time to adapt.
But if Xabi is chosen to replace Ancelotti, it seems that in the short term, Real Madrid will experience a slight decline in performance when Xabi tries to adapt to Real Madrid players and of course this will waste time, while Real Madrid currently has a goal of getting another title in the Champions League.

In my opinion, there are two biggest candidates right now. I think one is Xabi and the other is Zidane. However, it is not time for change for Ancelotti, Real Madrid is still showing a successful team performance. It would be a big surprise and I would be very surprised if he leaves office, but to be honest, there is no change in sight at the moment.

Saying never would be really assertive in my opinion. Because I believe there is still a chance for Messi to end his career at Barcelona. He has always been ready to return to Barcelona as you know. Barcelona just couldn't meet his demands due to the restrictions by La Liga FFP rules. Otherwise Barcelona are always ready to welcome him back. Xavi also stated before that he would like to reunite with his old friend.

But for now Messi must be enjoying his life in the US. It is like the league belongs to Messi now considering how much he has been offered. 

If Zinedin Zidane has returned to coaching, I think he is the most suitable to replace Carlo Anclotti and Zinedin Zidane is strongest candidate at the moments who will be Real Madrid choice.
Zinedin Zidane is the coach who has the most experience in training big club like Real Madrid and Zinedin Zidane has already made a name for himself his good name at the club so it is not impossible that Real Madrid will recruit him again.
However, if Real Madrid wants to try to recruit another coach, I think the one who is more suitable is Xabi Alonso, but it seem that Xabi Alonso cannot yet coach a big club like Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso still wants to improved his coaching performance while he is still at Leverkusen.

exactly. Messi will never return to Barcelona and if that happens Barcelona will no longer get the talent that Messi has again like before.

I fully support your argument because it is true that if we want to trace the history of the reasons that made Messi leave Barcelona, of course we will never associate Messi with Barcelona again because Barcelona finances are a little bad, making Messi have to leave the team and even though its not about money, its about players. who is almost approaching retirement he really needs money in his old age and I understand about this so it will all just be rumors as you say.

Am I saying something about what Messi is doing at Inter Miami so that you are comparing him to Ronaldo, and it looks like you are the one who has to open your eyes to be able to read the post more carefully, friend.

As a player he has won many prestigious titles that many players hope for, even though he has never won the Ballon d'Or title, he is one of the best players ever, but often his name is not highlighted as much as other players in the same position as him.
If it is true that he will resign from the Argentina national team then there will be no chance of us seeing him appear at the 2026 World Cup because it is possible that he will still be Scaloni's choice later, but whatever, he is a consistent player who always makes a contribution to his club wherever he plays.
