Africa-Press – Lesotho. Real Madrid is entering a new chapter. Carlo Ancelotti will step down on May 25th, bringing an end to a legendary reign marked by 15 major trophies, including three Champions League titles.
His departure will be honored with a tribute, and the club has already confirmed his successor: Xabi Alonso. The former midfield maestro, now thriving as Bayer Leverkusen’s coach, will return to the Bernabéu with a three-year contract in hand.
He’ll be joined by his trusted staff, including assistant Sebas Parrilla and fitness coach Alberto Encinas.
Alonso, a key figure in Madrid’s 2014 Champions League triumph, will inherit a squad built to compete at the highest level. While changes are expected to be minimal, a central defender like Dean Huijsen and a new midfielder are on the club’s radar. Before officially taking the reins, the team will be led by Santiago Solari during the Club World Cup in June. Alonso’s smooth arrival is ensured by a gentlemen’s agreement with Leverkusen—no legal disputes, just a respectful passing of the torch between clubs.
