Spanish club, Real Madrid has announced one of its former players, Xabi Alonso, as its new head coach.

 

Xabi takes over from Italian coach, Carlo Ancelotti, who is joining the Brazilian national team as its new head coach ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Ancelotti was in charge of his final match as Real Madrid coach at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday, May 24, 2025 when Los Blancos hosted Real Sociedad.

 

Xabi, a Madrid legend, is returning to Spain after guarding Bayer Leverkusen to the German Bundesliga title in the 2023/2024 season. His contract with Real Madrid will remain valid until June 2028.

 

A prolific midfielder, Alonso joined Madrid in August 2009, winning LaLiga and two Copas del Rey, before winning a Champions League medal — coached by Ancelotti — in 2014.
