Xabi Alonso: It is better to be a player in football

The former player of Madrid's "Real" team, Xabi Alonso, shared his thoughts on his coaching career. This was reported by www.euro-football.ru.

After finishing his active playing career in 2017, Alonso began his coaching journey and tested himself in this field. He achieved good results as a coach at "Bayer" and later received an offer to work at "Real". According to Xabi Alonso, coaching is a job associated with a lot of stress, but he tries to enjoy the process.

He loves his work very much, but emphasized that the best thing in football is still being a player. Alonso made these remarks at a press conference before the match against "Red Bull Salzburg" in the World Club Championship. He also mentioned that he was appointed as the coach of "Real" at the beginning of June and that he took over the coaching position due to the previous coach Carlo Ancelotti leaving for the Brazil national team.

Under his leadership, the team is striving for new successes.
