Real Madrid has confirmed the appointment of its former player Xabi Alonso as head coach of the Spanish Giants for the 2025/26 season.
Galacticos confirmed the appointment of Xabi Alonso after his last match in La Liga, Spain, on its official website on Sunday, May 25, 2025. He announced earlier this month that he will leave his position as Bayer Leverkusen’s boss by the end of the season.
