The Spaniard, who has led Leverkusen to extraordinary success in recent seasons, will replace Carlo Ancelotti, who is stepping down at the end of the current campaign following a disappointing run with Los Blancos.
Ancelotti era ends amid highs and lows
Despite his decorated legacy and 15 trophies in two spells with Real Madrid, including three Champions League titles, Ancelotti will say farewell to the Bernabeu faithful on May 25, according to reports.
)
This follows a tough season in which Real are falling short in LaLiga, were knocked out of both domestic cup finals, and crashed out of the Champions League quarter-finals to Arsenal.
Xabi Alonso, who made 236 appearances for Madrid as a player, has reportedly already agreed to a three-year deal.
)
While he will offer input on signings, Real Madrid’s hierarchy will maintain control over transfer strategy, with centre back and midfield the main areas to be addressed.
Alonso leaves Leverkusen legacy behind
Alonso's first test will come at the Club World Cup in June, and he will arrive with assistant Sebas Parrilla and fitness expert Alberto Encinas.
)
Alonso's departure from Leverkusen is a significant blow for the German side, and for Boniface who will be without the manager who has brought them unprecedented success.
Under Alonso’s guidance, Leverkusen clinched the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles last season, with the Spanish tactician winning 88 of his 138 matches in charge.
Alonso was named both Bundesliga Coach of the Year and Globe Soccer’s Best Coach in 2024, but now he takes the next step in a career that continues to soar, leaving Leverkusen behind.
