Xabi Alonso receives the best news days before becoming Real Madrid's new coach

The coach from Donostia receives great news in the last few hours: Real Madrid is happy for him

Xabi Alonso, who is days away from becoming Real Madrid's coach, has won a battle off the field that has been pursuing him for years. The Bayer Leverkusen coach has emerged victorious in his legal dispute against the tax authorities.

The National Court has rejected a claim of 288,000 euros for alleged irregularities in image rights payments when he was still wearing white. The resolution, supported by a Supreme Court precedent in 2023, is very favorable for the Donostian.

This matter has never been a concern in Valdebebas. The institution's high-ranking officials have only valued his profile as a coach, and in this aspect, he is working quite well.

According to Cadena SER, he will take charge of the team in the Club World Cup. He will arrive to lead the white team in this new and important competition. In Valdebebas, they place significant value on this new tournament.

Excited

In the noble area of Chamartín, they are excited about the new project that is approaching. Florentino Pérez appreciates and admires Carlo Ancelotti, but acknowledges that his era is already in its final stage. In soccer, as in life, everything has a beginning and an end.

As revealed by Diario MARCA yesterday, Carletto's farewell will be announced after El Clásico. No matter what happens, the entity will make it public that the Reggiolo coach will embark on a new stage in his sports career. It will be with the Brazilian national team, barring a major surprise.

Farewell worthy of his stature

The idea they have at the white house is to give him a farewell worthy of what he deserves. Authorized voices see him as a legend, and no one forgets that he is the most decorated coach in the institution's history with 15 titles. Last December, he surpassed Miguel Muñoz by winning the Intercontinental Cup.

Good old Carletto could leave with LaLiga under his arm. For this, his team must beat Barça in Montjuïc and not falter in the final matches. If they take the three points in El Clásico, they will have to win all remaining matches and wait for a draw or defeat from the Catalans.
