Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has risen dramatically on the list of possible replacements and is currently the favorite to replace Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of Real Madrid, the press in England reported, sportal.bg reported.
The coach of the “cherries” has won only 31 of his 72 matches at the helm of the “cherries”, but the team's performance in recent months has impressed analysts and fans, and the team is fifth and only a point away from Manchester City and the Champions League places.
Speculations are increasingly growing that it is very likely that Carlo Ancelotti will be released by Madrid after the end of the season, and a younger specialist will be appointed at the helm of “los Blancos”, who will have the energy to build a new face for the team.
Speculations have also recently emerged that the Italian specialist has received a new offer to take charge of Brazil from the summer and lead the “selesao” at the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, which is also an opportunity that could greatly tempt him. Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso also continues to be among the names linked, but Iraola's is now coming to the fore.
