La Liga
Xabi Alonso is getting closer to becoming the new coach of Real Madrid. The Bayer Leverkusen coach has established himself as Florentino Pérez's number one favorite to replace Carlo Ancelotti starting next season, and the necessary steps are already being taken from the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu to finalize his arrival.
Ancelotti's situation on the white bench has become complicated in recent weeks. Criticism has intensified following the elimination against Arsenal in the Champions League and the four-point disadvantage to Barcelona in the league, a difference that seems difficult to reverse. Unless there is a miraculous turn of events, something that appears very unlikely, the Italian will not continue leading the team.
Xabi Alonso, Florentino Pérez's Chosen One
In this context, the club's sports management has already begun planning for the future. And that future has a name: Xabi Alonso. The Basque player, who is having a spectacular season with Bayer Leverkusen, has won the hearts of Madrid fans with his style of play, leadership, and deep knowledge of the white house, where he left an indelible mark as a player.
Negotiations with the Basque coach's environment are very advanced, with only one last hurdle to overcome: convincing Bayer Leverkusen to allow his departure. The German team is reluctant to part ways with their star coach, but Real Madrid is confident that an agreement will be reached soon.
Xabi Alonso represents the new era that Florentino Pérez wants to inaugurate. Youth, ambition, tactical knowledge, and a strong emotional bond with the club. Everything is set for his arrival on the Santiago Bernabéu bench. All that remains is for the season to end to confirm what many already see as inevitable.
