Alonso

Xabi Alonso has officially announced that he will leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season, confirming speculation about his future. The Spanish coach, who has led Leverkusen to historic success, is widely expected to take over at Real Madrid, replacing Carlo Ancelotti.

Alonso’s departure marks the end of a remarkable chapter for Leverkusen. Under his leadership, the club secured its first-ever Bundesliga title, completing an unbeaten league campaign—a feat never before achieved in German football. His tactical brilliance also guided the team to victory in the DFB-Pokal, securing a domestic double.

Despite finishing second in the Bundesliga this season, Alonso’s impact on Leverkusen has been undeniable. His ability to transform the squad into a dominant force has made him one of the most sought-after managers in European football.

With Ancelotti set to leave Madrid, Alonso is expected to return to the club where he once starred as a player. His transition to the Bernabéu signals a new era for Los Blancos, as they look to rebuild following a challenging campaign.

Alonso’s next steps will be closely watched, but his legacy at Leverkusen is already cemented. His departure leaves big shoes to fill, and the club will now begin its search for a successor to continue the momentum he created.
