Real Madrid are set to undergo a major coaching change in the near future. Experienced Italian Carlo Ancelotti, who has been in charge of the club for four years, is set to be replaced by Spaniard Xabi Alonso, who has achieved great success at Bayer Leverkusen.
New coach, new approach
Alonso's arrival could be a serious test for some of Real Madrid's veteran players. In particular, the fate of Luka Modric, one of the club's symbols of recent years and the winner of the Ballon d'Or, is up in the air.
According to reports, Xabi Alonso, although he has great respect for Modric, does not consider him suitable for his future tactical projects. The Spanish coach has stated that he cannot give the 39-year-old playmaker a leading role in the team.
Midfield renewal expected
Alonso has asked the club's management to bring in a new midfielder of his choice. He wants to build the planned scheme in the center of the field on the basis of young and dynamic players.
In such a scenario, it is highly likely that Modric's contract will not be renewed when it expires on June 30. This could mean the end of a long and glorious journey at Real Madrid for the Croatian maestro.
An era is ending
Luka Modric has been playing for Real Madrid since 2012. During this time, he has:
- Won the European Champions League five times,
- La Liga three times,
- and become the mainstay of the team, winning a number of other important competitions.
If Modric leaves the club, it will be the official end of an era not only for Real Madrid, but also for the whole of world football.
The Zamin.uz editorial team sees Xabi Alonso's new plans as another evolution at Real Madrid. However, the club should say goodbye to a legend like Modric in a wise and dignified manner. Because in addition to financial and tactical strategy, respect and memory also play an important role in this decision. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
