The guesswork, which has not been there for a long time, has finally ended: Real Madrid will present Xabi Alonso as the new coach and successor to Carlo Ancelotti in early next week.
On Thursday, the “Marca”, which is usually well informed on Thursday, reports on the schedule of the royal. Accordingly, there will be an official press conference on Monday morning, on which Leverkusen’s master coach is finally to be presented.
Alonso’s signature under a three -year contract is also to be confirmed in this course.
According to the report, he will bring his coaching team from Leverkusen, consisting of Sebas Parrilla, Alberto Encinas and Ismael Camenforte López. According to “Marca”, other coaches that are already among the royal could also be added to the Alonso-Staff.
Alonso has been planning Real squad for weeks
The fact that Alonso will become a new real coach has been an open secret for many weeks. This is for good reason: According to “Marca”, the ex-professional has been working on the squad for the coming season in the background. Rumors about his desired players and possible new commitments that he would advocate were repeatedly circulating during this period.
Even those responsible for Bayer never made a secret that they would give Alonso to release if an association like Real Madrid is knocking. In this context, club boss Fernando Carro repeatedly spoke of a “Gentlemen’s Agreement” between Bayer and Alonso.
Alonso canceled FC Bayern in the summer of 2024
Already in the summer of 2024 it was speculated intensively about a change of the Spaniard. At that time, FC Liverpool and FC Bayern were considered interested parties. However, both heavyweights received a cancellation of Alonso.
In the course of the 2024/25 season, the royal from Madrid became more and more apparent in the course of the 2024/25 season. The team played a weak second half of the season under Ancelotti’s management and left several titles. Nationally, they had a look against FC Barcelona, in which Champions League flew out of FC Arsenal in the quarterfinals.
