Xabi Alonso, current head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, has reportedly signed a contract to become Real Madrid's new manager until 2028, according to sports journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Xabi Alonso, the head coach of Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, will take charge of Real Madrid starting this summer and remain at the helm until 2028, prominent football insider Fabrizio Romano reported on social media platform X.
According to the source, Alonso will begin his tenure with the Spanish giants during the FIFA Club World Cup, which is set to take place in the United States from June 15 to July 13. The move comes shortly after Bayer Leverkusen officially confirmed last week that Alonso would step down at the end of the current season.
Alonso has been managing Bayer Leverkusen since 2022. Under his leadership, the club achieved a historic domestic double, winning both the Bundesliga and the German Cup, marking a golden era for the “Werkself.” His return to Real Madrid - where he previously played as a key midfielder - is seen as a full-circle moment in his football career.
