Xabi Alonso has made a name for himself as a great playmaker. Everywhere he became the key figure of his teams. Bask started his career at Real Sociedad before joining Liverpool in the summer of 2004 for €15 million. And already in the first season he won the Champions League. He also won the European Cup in 2014 as a Real Madrid player, with whom he also won the national championship (2012), the Spanish Cup (2011 and 2014) and the European Super Cup. He spent the last years of his career at Bayern Munich, where he won, among others, the three German championships. He also celebrated great successes with the team from Spain, with whom he won the World Cup in 2010 and Euro twice (2008 and 2012).
Xabi Alonso to be Real’s coach?
Now he is trying his hand at coaching. He first learned the trade in the youth team of Real Madrid, and then in the reserves of Real Sociedad. In October 2022, he became the coach of Bayer Leverkusen. He took over the team in 17th place in the Bundesliga, and today it is eighth and boasts a five-win streak.
And it is these good results and the Spaniard’s past that make him an interesting candidate to take over Real Madrid. Of course, after Carlo Ancelotti leaves. This scenario is described by the Spanish daily “Sport”.
The contract of the Italian coach expires in the summer of 2024. And that’s when Xabi Alonso would take over Real. Of course, this is a distant prospect for now, but the former midfielder seems to be a possible option for the “Royal” bench.
“Sport” writes that Real’s interests also include Raul and Guti, the legends of Madrid.
