Marca reveals the final plan: Real to sign Alonso in June

This is how big clubs work: they make plans in time and make important decisions regarding the future. And the big news is coming from Madrid tonight: Xabi Alonso will be the new coach of Real in the summer! The information was launched by the always reliable Marca or rather her radio. Without any further details, but this much is enough: Real has assessed that he is ready - Xabi Alonso will be the new coach of the first team from June.

As previously rumoured, Carlo Ancelotti will leave the Royal Club at the end of the season because they are waiting for him in Brazil to take over the national team. The Brazilian football federation talked with him in January and clearly stated that he is their only option. They persuaded him, and allegedly, he accepted. Until the Italian makes his mutual ‘divorce’ with the Madrid club official, Fernando Diniz will continue to be interim coach. On the other hand, the former Real midfielder is a complete revelation in the Bundesliga. Under his guidance (but also after some great transfers this June), Bayer Leverkusen is playing the best football in Germany, even better than Leipzig. He finished the previous season in sixth place (he took the team in mid-season), while at the start of this season, he is in second place, with the same number of points as the leader Bayern.

At the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, they followed Alonso's every step and judged that he had matured enough as a coach to lead Real. He "patrolled" the midfield of Sociedad, Liverpool, Real and Bayern during his playing days, and now in Madrid, they believe he knows what players need, just like Zinedine Zidane. The Spanish expert started his coaching journey in the right way: he worked in the younger categories of Real Madrid and continued in Sociedad B, from where he arrived in Leverkusen. And now Alonso has almost a whole season ahead of him to continue "growing" until he gets the steering wheel of the biggest club in the world in his hands.
