Xabi Alonso is on the verge of taking over as Real Madrid’s head coach, with reports indicating that he is prepared to say yes to the Spanish giants once the exit process with Carlo Ancelotti is finalized. Bayer Leverkusen, aware of the growing likelihood of Alonso’s departure, has begun accelerating its search for a new head coach.
Alonso, who has transformed Leverkusen into a dominant force in the Bundesliga, has been heavily linked with a return to Madrid, where he spent five successful years as a player. His tactical acumen and leadership have made him the top candidate to replace Ancelotti, whose future remains uncertain amid speculation of a potential move to Brazil’s national team.
Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro has confirmed that the club has a “gentleman’s agreement” with Alonso, allowing him to leave if approached by one of his former clubs. While the German side would prefer to retain their manager, they are now preparing for his likely departure and have begun discussions to find a suitable replacement.
With Real Madrid eager to secure Alonso’s services, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining the next steps for both clubs. If the move materializes, Alonso will be tasked with leading Madrid into a new era, while Leverkusen will look to maintain their momentum under fresh leadership.
