Florentino asked Mourinho for advice on Xabi Alonso and this was his response.

With the end of the season dangerously approaching, Real Madrid is preparing for significant changes. The most relevant of all is, of course, Xabi's return to Valdebebas as a coach. While Madridists are extremely excited about this move, Florentino Pérez had certain doubts.

Due to this, Florentino turned to José Mourinho for advice regarding this imminent operation. "His father was a coach, then he became a player, a great player. His position on the field and his knowledge of the game is very high." Through these words, José Mourinho made it clear that Xabi Alonso is a great option for Real Madrid.

"...I think Xabi has the conditions to be a very good coach," added Mourinho after mentioning the experience Xabi has. Having been coached by great coaches during his time as a player, Xabi is the right choice for Real Madrid.

Mourinho's words

Having made history as a player, Xabi Alonso managed to do the same as a coach. Arriving at Bayer Leverkusen in 2021, Xabi managed to rescue the club from relegation and lead it to win a historic double. Even so, and despite his consolidation as a good coach, José Mourinho has been responsible for his return to Real Madrid.

His words made it clear to Florentino Pérez that Xabi is one of the best-prepared coaches in the world. With extensive experience and, above all, his outstanding tactical intelligence, his time at Bayer showed Xabi's potential.

Moreover, Mourinho's words served to praise the impressive work but, above all, the future that awaits Xabi. Knowing the Spaniard perfectly from his time at Real Madrid, Mourinho is quite sure of Xabi's new stage.

The confidence with Xabi

With just a few matches left until the end of the season, everything is ready to announce Xabi Alonso's arrival at Real Madrid. With the support and trust of Florentino Pérez, Xabi is prepared to begin a new golden era at Real Madrid.
