Inside the hallowed halls of the Santiago Bernabéu, whispers are growing louder: Xabi Alonso is the chosen one. Sources close to Real Madrid reveal that the club has set its sights on the former midfield maestro to take the reins once Carlo Ancelotti bids farewell.
Alonso, who has impressed with his tactical brilliance at Bayer Leverkusen, is seen as the perfect blend of modern footballing philosophy and Madridista spirit. A product of Real Madrid’s golden era, his potential appointment would mark a return to the club’s tradition of promoting ex-players who embody their values.
While Ancelotti remains focused on current campaigns, insiders say the transition is more a question of “when” than “if.” For fans and players alike, the idea of Alonso in the dugout is an exciting prospect—a fresh yet familiar face to guide Real Madrid into its next chapter of glory.
