Real Madrid’s Management Is Dissatisfied With Alaba, Vinícius, and Ancelotti’s Actions
The air around Santiago Bernabéu has grown tense—not because of an on-field crisis, but due to what’s brewing behind the scenes. According to sources close to the club, Real Madrid’s top brass is quietly expressing growing dissatisfaction with three major figures: David Alaba, Vinícius Jr., and none other than head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
The root of the tension? A series of incidents that, when looked at individually, might seem small—but when strung together, paint a picture of disconnect between the squad’s key figures and the board’s vision.
Let’s start with David Alaba. Known for his versatility and leadership, Alaba was supposed to be a rock in Madrid’s backline. But management has reportedly grown frustrated with what they see as a lack of urgency on the pitch—and an even greater issue off it. Alaba recently missed a crucial team event, citing personal reasons. But rumors have surfaced that he was spotted at a private function abroad that same night. The optics didn’t sit well with Madrid’s old-school leadership, who have always prized discipline and unity.
Then there’s Vinícius Jr., the electric winger who has often been the heartbeat of Real’s attack. While no one questions his talent, insiders say his off-field persona—from his outspoken posts on social media to his public arguments with match officials—has drawn unwanted attention. One source described the club’s mood as “pride mixed with exasperation.” There’s concern that Vinícius is becoming bigger than the badge, and his growing influence in the locker room isn’t necessarily being channeled constructively.
But perhaps the most surprising name in the mix is Carlo Ancelotti.
Beloved by fans and respected across the football world, Ancelotti has been a calming presence through Madrid’s highs and lows. So why the dissatisfaction?
It seems to stem from his management style this season, which some within the club view as too lenient. One insider claimed, “Ancelotti’s approach is built on trust and respect—but some players are beginning to take advantage of that.” There’s also quiet concern over his tactics in key matches, with a few in the boardroom questioning whether the club is evolving fast enough in a league that’s getting younger, quicker, and more tactical by the day.
So what does all this mean?
Right now, nothing drastic is happening publicly. But beneath the surface, Real Madrid’s leadership is recalibrating. There’s talk of tighter internal rules, stricter training oversight, and even a possible shift in transfer strategy—possibly favoring more low-profile, coachable stars over flashy names.
As for Ancelotti, his job isn’t under immediate threat. But the message is clear: No one is untouchable.
Madrid is a club that prides itself on elegance, discipline, and a culture of winning. When even the smallest cracks appear, management acts—not always loudly, but always deliberately.
Whether this internal storm settles or erupts into a full-blown reshuffle will depend on how the team responds in the coming weeks.
Because at Real Madrid, form is temporary—but expectations are eternal.
