Real Madrid is carefully monitoring the situation surrounding Xabi Alonso as tensions continue to rise. Although the club’s leadership officially supports the coach, some players have expressed concerns about his strategies and personal relationships, suggesting that the project may require a change.
Zinedine Zidane continues to be seen as a reliable alternative in case Alonso’s situation becomes complicated.
The former French coach has hinted that he may return to the bench, a signal interpreted as a possibility for a swift intervention at the club. The club’s directors want to maintain continuity, but they do not rule out a potential change if the sporting situation demands urgent action.
The younger players view Alonso as a modern figure with ideas for the future, but others have struggled to adapt to his methods.
Zidane enjoys broad consensus within the club, and his familiarity with the structure, pressure, and dressing room makes him the ideal candidate for a natural transition on the bench. His good relationship with Florentino Pérez remains a key factor in case a quick change becomes necessary.
On the eve of decisive matches, results and internal harmony will determine the pace and decisions regarding the coach.
Meanwhile, Zidane remains attentive, waiting for a moment that could bring him back to the role of the club’s leader.
