A coach who has made history
When Xabi Alonso took over 'Bayer' in 2022, the team was positioned in the middle of the Bundesliga. However, in a short time, he was able to transform the team — thanks to tactical play, a positive atmosphere, and a strong squad balance, he led the club to become Bundesliga champions for the first time. Additionally, 'Bayer' has also become one of the main contenders for the German Cup this season.
Towards a new chapter at “Real”?

Alonso is being regarded as one of the new generation coaches for 'Real' — he not only defended the honor of the Madrid team as a player but is now striving to take the “royal club” to the next level.
Young, yet knowledgeable and influential specialist
Xabi Alonso began his coaching career with the youth team of 'Real Sociedad'. He quickly became recognized as a leading coach there as well. Through his universal playing style, personal approach to working with players, and strategic thinking, he has become one of the most sought-after specialists in Europe.
