Xabi Alonso is Close to Real Madrid
His achievements have reportedly caught the attention of Real Madrid, where he is being strongly linked to replace Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti, who has been under pressure due to Real Madrid’s inconsistent start in both LaLiga and the Champions League, is rumored to be on the brink of leaving the Bernabéu.
Xabi Alonso, a former Real Madrid midfielder, is now the frontrunner for the role, with many viewing him as a natural successor to Ancelotti.
For Boniface, Alonso’s potential departure could mean significant changes at Leverkusen, as the team navigates life without the coach who has been instrumental in their recent success. Meanwhile, Real Madrid fans eagerly anticipate whether Alonso will return to the club where he enjoyed tremendous success as a player.
