Xabi Alonso is trying out Alaba in various positions

Real Madrid defender David Alaba will have the opportunity to showcase himself under the new head coach Xabi Alonso. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The Austrian player has appeared less on the field in the last two seasons due to constant injuries. As a result, there have been speculations in the media about the end of his career.

However, it is said that the new coach Alonso has confidence in Alaba. According to Marca, Alonso highly values Alaba's skills with the ball and believes that this quality can benefit the team.

The specialist plans to see the 33-year-old player in various positions. For example, in a recent friendly match against Leganes, Alaba played not as the main central defender but operated in the anchor zone.

David Alaba's contract with Real Madrid will expire in the middle of next year. During the 2024/25 season, the defender has played a total of 14 matches.

Thus, Alaba's future at the Madrid club will depend on the decisions of the new coach. The club's management and coaching staff hope to effectively utilize his experience and skills.
