Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso's Agreement for the White Bench Comes to Light

One of the most discussed issues regarding Real Madrid's future is the bench. Carlo Ancelotti, despite the successes he has achieved, doesn't have his position secured for the next season. The problems and criticisms he has faced this season have shown the club that it is time for a change of cycle.

In search of a worthy successor, the team has been interested in signing Xabi Alonso for months. The successes the Spaniard has achieved with Bayer Leverkusen have established him as a top-level coach. His game plans and, above all, the opportunities he gives to young players led the merengue team to make an offer for him.

A 2-year contract is what Madrid has offered to a coach who is closer to returning to Valdebebas. With Leverkusen accepting Xabi's departure, the only thing left to finalize is the official announcement from both clubs.

The Merengue Agreement

Arriving at Bayer Leverkusen in 2022, Xabi managed to change the club's image in a short time. Taking the Germans out of the relegation zone, the man from Tolosa guided the team to achieve a historic double. Ending Bayern Munich's hegemony, Xabi demonstrated his quality as a coach to the world.

By enabling a club like Leverkusen to end a historic drought, Real Madrid saw him as Ancelotti's successor. For the plan the club has in mind for the future, there is no better option than Alonso to lead the merengue squad.

That's why, with the clear intention of securing their future as soon as possible, Real Madrid has already presented a contract for his services. With Xabi accepting as well as Leverkusen, it only remains to await the return of one of the greatest merengue legends.

Security for the Future

With Xabi's imminent arrival, it is more than evident that Ancelotti's cycle will end at the end of this season. Despite everything the Italian has achieved, the club believes it is time to start a change of cycle.
