Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid Manager was invoiced by several reports as a “completed deal”.
The Bayer Leverkusen boss has long served as the only sustainable candidate who takes over the Spanish giants if Carlo Ancelotti went. After an overwhelming European campaign and a pair of defeats against Barcelona in the final of two different competitions, the most decorated coach in the history of Real Madrid will probably step down at the end of the season.
Marca Were the first to report that an agreement for Alonso had finally been made. The former Madrid midfielder is said to have received a three-year contract and is accompanied by his deputy manager Sebas Parrilla and fitness coach Alberto Encinas.
Ancelotti will report on May 25 with Madrid after monitoring the last La Liga match of the club’s club. Fabrizio Romano claims that Alonso will officially put the pen on paper as soon as the departure of his predecessor has been completed.
Sky Sport Germany‘S Florian Plettenberg reflects these reports and also offers a tempting list of candidates who replace Alonso at Leverkusen. The former head coach of Manchester United Erik Ten Hag is a name that together with ex-Barcelona middle players Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas together with Alvaro Arbeloa, the coach of the youth team of Real Madrid, and CESC Fabregas.
Marca Repeat the idea that Alonso will only take over after the summer world championship, possibly until the end of July. Santiago Solari, Madrid’s current football director, who previously supervised 32 games from the dugout, was widely equipped as an interim trainer to close the gap between Ancelotti and Alonso.
Every major squad overhaul was “not necessary” by described Marca. For Real Madrid, it is also not financially viable, its directors and as always the club president Florentino Perez will have the last word about all transfers. Alonso is to receive a certain role in the recruitment strategy and has already identified certain areas of the pitch that must strengthen.
On the other side of the incoming Trent Alexander-Arnold, steps have already been taken to reach a new left-back. The Dean Huijsen von Bournemouth is invoiced as the leading candidate for the defense of Madrid, while it was also spoken by a new midfielder.
Alonso’s talisman playmaker at Bayer Leverkusen, Florian Wirtz, will probably be at the top of the transfer of the arriving manager for Madrid. Bayern Munich is also open to the German international, while Manchester City has not yet given up hope of making him Kevin de Bruynes long -term successor.
