In the upcoming UEFA Champions League Group Stage Matchday 6, Real Madrid will take on Manchester City at their home ground, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Regarding the upcoming match this Wednesday, the team's set objective is to continue placing their trust in Xabi Alonso and extend him ongoing support.
The club's current goal is to genuinely sustain its backing for Xabi Alonso. After the defeat to Celta Vigo, doubts arose about the team's future, but the atmosphere at that time was not conducive to calm reflection. Twelve hours later, at the Valdebebas training ground, the analysis became more level-headed, demands on players and the coach reached their peak, and finding a solution became the most urgent task.
However, there is a scenario where if the subsequent matches develop to a point where the current situation becomes unsustainable, the head coach must be replaced around Christmas time. This is the harsh reality now, isn't it? Although Alonso remains the club's preferred choice for the time being, if Pep Guardiola's Manchester City secures a heavy victory—such as a 4-0 win—there is significant uncertainty about whether the club can retain Alonso, despite its current aim to keep him in charge.
In the past few hours, no other potential head coach candidates have emerged. Two coaches highly anticipated by Real Madrid fans are José Mourinho and Zinedine Zidane... By the afternoon, more names had surfaced. Zidane's name was mentioned again, and Jurgen Klopp's name also appeared, but both have been ruled out as potential candidates. In other words, neither Zidane nor Klopp will take over as Real Madrid's head coach.
