Real Madrid

<p>Ancelotti has been expected to leave Real Madrid at the end of this season, as Los Blancos have struggled for results despite their fantastic summer transfer window.

However, The Independent has also reported that Los Blancos are now set to move for their former midfielder to take on the job of head coach. Additionally, they plan to coordinate their transfer plans with Alonso's systemic plans.</p>
