According to Marca , the Bernabeu team plans to let Xabi Alonso lead the club right at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup taking place in mid-June in the US. This decision was made after discussions between the club's leadership and the Spanish coach.

Real do not want to waste any more time and expect Alonso to quickly start preparing for the upcoming tournament. Previously, the Madrid club considered appointing Santiago Solari as interim coach for the FIFA Club World Cup, but this plan was not approved by President Florentino Perez.

Alonso's upcoming task is not simple. The former Leverkusen coach will face many challenges right from the first days in charge at Bernabeu.

Firstly, Real Madrid have not won any major titles in the 2024/25 season. This will certainly put a lot of pressure on the new coach. Secondly, the current squad is in a state of crisis with many key players injured. Finally, the physical condition of the players is also a big problem as the team has been working hard for the past half year.

Another problem for Alonso is that the future of his key players has not been decided. Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo or Endrick could leave the Bernabeu this summer. Alonso's player purchases for the new season also need to be discussed and planned carefully.

Tactically, Alonso is expected to make major changes. Among them, the idea of ​​using a 5-man defense is being considered. The defense will be the area with the most changes this summer when many key players are in decline and constantly injured.

Real will open their FIFA Club World Cup campaign on June 19 against Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal.
