Losing to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid will change coach from next month

TPO - Reputable sources in Europe have confirmed that Xabi Alonso has reached an agreement to lead Real Madrid from this June, with the first campaign being the FIFA Club World Cup.

Last night, Xabi Alonso said goodbye to Leverkusen fans. In front of thousands of spectators at the Bayer Arena, he spoke from the bottom of his heart, confirming that he would leave the team after 2 successful years. May 17 will be the last time the 42-year-old former midfielder leads Leverkusen.

Then he will come to start a new journey at Real Madrid. It will be a journey full of promise but very thorny because this young strategist will lead the strongest team in the world in the past 100 years.

According to Spanish media, Xabi Alonso and Real have reached an agreement on a contract until 2028. The parties are waiting for an official announcement of the relationship.

This season has been Real’s worst campaign in years, with no trophies in all competitions including the league, cup, European competition and the Super Cup. Ironically, this is the season they have Kylian Mbappe, Real’s best striker since the departure of Karim Benzema in 2023.

Mbappe scored 39 goals this season but still left empty-handed

Despite Kylian Mbappe scoring 39 goals in all competitions, the best scoring record in La Liga, the team still came away empty-handed. This detail further shows how much pressure Real's leadership is under to make a complete change. And that's why they quickly signed Alonso.

Real's move is a good sign for the Brazilian Football Confederation. Previously, they were unable to convince Carlo Ancelotti to sign a long-term contract due to conflicts between the two sides.

Brazil wants Ancelotti to take the job as early as June to help the Samba team play 2 matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. However, the Italian coach is only ready to take the job in August. In July, he still has the FIFA Club World Cup campaign with Real.

With his student taking over from Real Madrid in June, Ancelotti can comfortably work in Brazil. But at the moment, he is facing two choices: to lead the Brazilian national team or take a high-paying job in Saudi Arabia.
