The new face of Real Madrid.

It was expected, and now it's official! Real Madrid announced this Sunday morning the signing of Xabi Alonso as the head coach of the first team.

The now former coach of Bayer Leverkusen has signed a contract running until June 2028.

As a reminder, Xabi Alonso led Leverkusen to the title during the 2023-24 season, remaining unbeaten throughout the entire Bundesliga season.

Xabi Alonso will not be arriving in unfamiliar territory, as he wore the Real Madrid jersey from 2009 to 2014, where he played 236 matches and won a La Liga title as well as a Champions League.

He replaces Carlo Ancelotti, who is taking over the Brazilian national team.

Are you excited to see his Real play?
