Xabi Alonso Ditches Vacation to Start Real Madrid Job Early
Xabi Alonso, the outgoing Bayer Leverkusen boss, is wasting no time after his exit. The 43-year-old Spaniard just announced he’s leaving Leverkusen at the end of the 2024/25 season, but instead of kicking back for a well-earned break, he’s diving straight into his next chapter with Real Madrid.
Alonso has inked a three-year deal to take the reins at the LaLiga powerhouse, stepping into the shoes of Carlo Ancelotti, who’s off to coach Brazil’s national team soon.

Hit the ground running at the Santiago Bernabeu and get Los Blancos ready for the FIFA Club World Cup in June.
