Real Madrid have reportedly identified their next next manager if Carlo Ancelotti decides to leave the LaLiga side at the end of the season.
Ancelotti's future in the Spanish capital remains doubtful after the defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico left the side 15 points behind their fierce rivals.
Various reports claim the 63-year-old could decided to leave on his own accord amid the links with the Brazilian national side, who remain without a permanent head coach.

Should Ancelotti decide to leave the Santiago Bernabeu, TyC Sports have reported that club president Florentino Perez will appoint former Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino.
The Argentine tactician has been a free agent since leaving PSG at the end of last season, although he has been linked with a return to Tottenham Hotspur.
Ancelotti, however, has seemingly welcomed the links with the South American giants as he is yet to coach on the international stage.
"Everyone can say what they want. But the reality is what it is. And I have just said it: I have a contract and I want to continue. It's simple. Nobody knows the future," Ancelotti said as per Marca
"I love it (calls from Brazil), of course it's exciting. But you have to respect contracts and I want to honour them."
