The domino effect on the European benches that will start with Xabi Alonso

The move that will bring Xabi Alonso to the Real Madrid bench will not only mark a new stage in the white club but will also have direct consequences on other teams in the European panorama. Bayer Leverkusen, current leader of the Bundesliga and main beneficiary of the work of the Basque coach, finds itself in need of seeking a replacement at the same level. Alonso's move to the Madrid team, after a historic season, has set off alarms in Germany, where possible substitutes are already being mentioned.

Unprecedented Domino Effect

The main name on the German club's list is Cesc Fàbregas. The former Spanish international has shown his coaching ability at Como, an Italian team with notable results in Serie A. His profile, close to the possession style and good ball treatment that has characterized Leverkusen in this period, places him as the ideal candidate to continue the project. The sports management values his leadership, his knowledge of modern play, and his ability to handle aspiring dressing rooms.

If Fàbregas's move to Germany is confirmed, Como would also have to face a restructuring in its coaching staff. The Lombard team has set its sights on Davide Ancelotti, current assistant coach at Real Madrid, as an option to take the next step. With experience gained alongside his father at several of the continent's most important clubs, the young coach seems ready to take on a challenge on his own, and Serie A could be the stage for his debut as head coach.

This chain of decisions is not understood without the figure of Carlo Ancelotti. The veteran Italian coach will leave the Madrid bench at the end of the season to take charge of the Brazilian national team, opening the door to all these movements that will reconfigure several technical structures in European football.
