Ancelotti is expected to leave his position at the end of the current season, with reports suggesting Alonso may take over next season.

In a recent press conference, Ancelotti expressed his thoughts on Alonso's potential move.

"I've heard that Alonso is leaving Bayer Leverkusen, where he has done a great job," Ancelotti said.

"He has opened many doors for himself because he has shown he is one of the best coaches in the world," Ancelotti added.
