Following the news that Carlo Ancelotti has agreed to take over as Brazil head coach, Real Madrid must now prepare to begin their search for his replacement.
Although Ancelotti is not expected to leave until the start of 2024 at the earliest, Florentino Perez will be keen to put the switchover in place as early as possible, to allow for a seamless transition when the Italian does depart.
According to MD, a five-man shortlist has been drawn up by Perez, with those on it being Raul Gonzalez, Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
Raul and Alonso would have the advantage of having come through at Real Madrid as youth coaches, with the former still currently at the club with Castilla. Alonso has thrived at Bayer Leverkusen, which will make him an attractive option.
Nagelsmann recently turned down Paris Saint-Germain, and he could be a shrewd move for Real Madrid as an up-and-coming manager.
Mourinho’s Roma future is far from certain, and a sensational return to Real Madrid could be on the cards. Conte has been a serial winner during his career, and as a free agent currently, he could be another solid option.
If/when Ancelotti goes, it will be a massive job to replace him. He has been a magnificent servant for Real Madrid, which has included helping them win six trophies over the last two seasons.

Earlier this year Don Carlo was saying he would retired from coaching because he want to spend more time with his family and friends drink cognac
...After the Champions League final, Walker said he is after the process of the team whether he is playing or not. What is he is doing now...find out . This is football.

Don Carlo if you take Brazil you will not win nothing,because neymar is not playing to win something he just playing for fun.
...why do you guys talk like you are GOD. How would you feel if u leave a company to another company due to better pay or it's a choice that your family wants and some one from your former company that you don't even talk to is saying you will not succeed in your new company for some stupid reasons?
