Real Madrid has officially announced Xabi Alonso as their new head coach. The former midfield maestro returns to the Santiago Bernabéu on a three-year contract that will run until June 2028. He will be unveiled to the media and fans in Madrid tomorrow, marking the beginning of a new era for the Spanish giants.

Alonso enjoyed a decorated five-year spell as a Real Madrid player between 2009 and 2014, where he became a cornerstone of the team’s midfield. Known for his vision, composure, and leadership, Alonso helped the club to win several major trophies, including La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.

A Rising Star in Coaching

Though still early in his managerial career, Alonso has already made a strong impression on the European football scene. He recently led Bayer Leverkusen to an unbeaten domestic campaign, securing their first-ever Bundesliga title and a DFB-Pokal trophy in the same season. His team’s dynamic, high-intensity style of play was praised for its tactical intelligence and consistency, culminating in a record-breaking 51-match unbeaten run.

Alonso’s ability to elevate young players and create a cohesive unit has made him one of the most sought-after managers in the game.

Alonso replaces Carlo Ancelotti, who departs after guiding Real Madrid through another competitive season. While the club remained strong contenders domestically and in Europe, the board sees Alonso as the figure capable of guiding the team into a new cycle of success, with a focus on fresh ideas and player development.

With this appointment, Real Madrid signals a long-term vision rooted in evolution rather than revolution. Alonso’s arrival is expected to usher in tactical refinement and an emphasis on maintaining the club’s winning identity while embracing modern football philosophies.

The Future of the Squad

Real Madrid has already begun preparing for the 2025–26 season with a bold transfer strategy. Key reinforcements are expected in both defense and midfield to complement the existing core of star players like Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham. The upcoming months may also see the integration of academy talents and new signings tailored to Alonso’s system.

The club is confident that under Alonso’s leadership, the team can reclaim its domestic and European dominance.

Presentation and First Steps

Alonso’s official presentation will take place tomorrow at the Santiago Bernabéu, where he is expected to outline his vision and goals for the coming seasons. His message to the fans will likely emphasize unity, ambition, and a return to the high standards that define Real Madrid.

With his reputation, experience, and connection to the club, Xabi Alonso steps into one of the most prestigious managerial roles in football with the full backing of the board and the belief of a global fanbase. The next chapter of Real Madrid begins now with one of their own at the helm.
