The anticipated news in European football has been officially confirmed — Xabi Alonso, who led Bayer to a historic championship, will now be at the helm of Real Madrid. According to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish specialist has signed a contract with the Madrid club until 2028.
World Championship in the USA — Alonso's debut
According to reports, the new era at Real will begin for Alonso at the Club World Cup, which will take place from June 15 to July 13. The Madrid club intends to integrate him into the team earlier and has held negotiations with Bayer's management to reach an agreement.
The celebrated success at Bayer
Xabi Alonso has been managing Bayer since 2022. During this short period, he turned the German club not only into the Bundesliga champion but also into the owner of the national cup. Due to his successful career, he has been highly regarded throughout Europe, and Real did not want to miss this opportunity.
Coaching change at Real — Ancelotti departs
It should be noted that the results at the 'royal club' have been unsatisfactory in recent months. Under Carlo Ancelotti's leadership, the team:
- Lost in the final of the Spanish Super Cup
- Reached the semifinals of the national cup
- Exited in the Champions League playoffs
… losing to rivals like Barselona and Arsenal. In La Liga, the team is currently 7 points behind the first-place rival. Therefore, the management decided to terminate the contract with Carlo Ancelotti ahead of schedule.
A new era: will reconstruction begin?
Serious changes are expected in the Real squad following Alonso's arrival. Changes in the team's composition, philosophy, and style of play are certain. In particular, there is a high likelihood of increased trust in young and technical players, as well as parting ways with experienced but ineffective players.
