Xabi Alonso takes over Real Madrid: Ancelotti's farewell is imminent!

In the latest developments in football it is reported that Xabi Alonso, currently coach of Bayer Leverkusen, is to become the next manager of Real Madrid. According to Al Jazera , Alonso will sign a three-year contract after concluding the Bundesliga season with Leverkusen. Carlo Ancelotti, the current trainer, is expected to be replaced by Alonso.

Ancelotti is considered for the Brazilian national team, especially with regard to the upcoming World Cup 2026. Although he still has a year, the unsatisfactory season and Ancelotti's desire to coach Brazil leads to an mutually agreed separation. This was also confirmed by Grada 3 Not.

Real Madrid will present a new coach in front of the Club World Cup in the United States, which takes place between June 14 and July 14. The official announcement on the change of coach is expected before the last game of the season against Real Sociedad. Regardless of the results, Real Madrid agreed to grant Ancelotti a respectful farewell.

The challenge for Alonso

The perspective to take over the rudder at Real Madrid is a challenging task for Alonso. His playing style, combined team play and vertical phases, fits well with the club's philosophy. Nevertheless, there are mixed results in the current season because Real Madrid left the Champions League against Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and lost the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. The royal points are currently behind Barcelona, ​​which further reduces the title chances.

The discussion about Ancelotti's successor has already started because Real Madrid, traditionally known for evaluating coaches for their success or failures, is shaped by a different approach this season. Alonso has shown that he is ready to accept the challenge to lead the club to new successes.
