| Breaking: Xabi Alonso’s Arrival Date at Real Madrid Revealed |
Before diving into the main topic, we would like to reveal two important points concerning Real Madrid's next head coach, in order to provide greater clarity and credibility:
First: A highly reliable and nearly confirmed report has just emerged, stating that Real Madrid’s management has indeed made the decision to dismiss Carlo Ancelotti. All the statements circulated over the past two days following the club’s European exit—suggesting that the board still supports Ancelotti—were merely aimed at maintaining stability within the dressing room. The club wanted to avoid chaos and therefore publicly claimed confidence in Ancelotti and his continuation. However, behind the scenes, the reality was quite the opposite. Florentino Pérez and his team have already decided to part ways with Ancelotti.
Second: The leading and most likely candidate to take over is none other than the club’s former player, Xabi Alonso. He is, more precisely, the frontrunner for the managerial position. This raises two key questions among fans:
Will Ancelotti lead the team in the Club World Cup?
While there is no official confirmation yet, the most likely answer is no—he will not be in charge during the tournament.
When will Xabi Alonso officially take over at Real Madrid?
According to official information, Alonso’s final match with Bayer Leverkusen is scheduled for May 18, 2025, against Mainz. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s final La Liga fixture will be on May 25, 2025. The most probable date for Alonso’s appointment is May 26 or 27, in order to prepare for the Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal on June 18, 2025.
