Carlo Ancelotti is leaving, now the only question is who will be the new coach of Real Madrid.
The media in Spain have no dilemma - Florentino Perez wants Xabi Alonso, who has been mentioned as the successor to the legendary Italian for a year.
Now that should be it and Alonso should be on the Real Madrid bench at the Club World Cup in July.
Alonso is reportedly close, but he refused to talk about what might happen in a month or two. He is only committed to Bayer.
"It's not a good time to talk about the future. It's a very important period of the season. I don't want to talk about speculation. I understand that it's interesting, but I'm interested in what's happening now," Alonso said.
