Real Madrid is on the verge of a title-winning season. Los Blancos’ chapter with Carlo Ancelotti is also ending in June – this has been the talk of the town for a few days. Who will take over Real Madrid after the Italian coach? One name has been mentioned the most in this race – Xavi Alonso. Renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has said that Alonso’s 3-year contract with Real has already been finalized.
Romano mentioned in a social media post that the two parties have agreed to sign the contract. The contract is until June 2028. Alonso is going to take over at Real. Romano also said that World Cup-winning former Spanish midfielder Alonso will start coaching Real from next month. As a result, he will be seen in the Los Blancos dugout at the Club World Cup to be held in the United States from June 14 to July 13.
Alonso has already ended his contract with German club Leverkusen. Romano added that the process of Ancelotti’s departure will begin this week. A special event will also be held to bid him farewell. Although Real have a contract with him until June 2026, he has to leave a year before the term expires.
Alonso announced his departure from German club Bayer Leverkusen on Friday. The team made history last season by winning the Bundesliga title without losing a single match under his leadership. In his farewell message, he said, “I have spent many emotional times in this stadium and the way I have developed here will be a memory that will last a lifetime.” Alonso played for Real from 2009 to 2014. He won several titles, including La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, with the team. He began his journey as a top-level coach with Leverkusen in 2022. Ancelotti could be seen in the dugout of the Brazil national team after leaving Real. That announcement could also come soon.
