Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has responded to media reports that he could be in charge of Real Madrid in 2025/26.
Alonso said: “I am aware of the rumours about Real Madrid but I am staying calm. I have too many things to focus on, and this isn’t on my agenda right now.” He stressed that despite the passage of time, his affection for Real Madrid has never changed and his bond with the club remains strong. However, his main focus at the moment is on the Leverkusen job.
Earlier, the media revealed that Ancelotti has decided to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season. In this regard, the well-known reporter Romano said that the Italian coach has not yet made a final decision. However, Alonso is still a popular candidate to take over as Real Madrid coach in the future, and Real Madrid president Florentino regards him very highly.
Ancelotti has twice managed Real Madrid and led the team to remarkable success. He has now led the team to 150 La Liga victories, a total of 210 games, with a record of 150 wins, 34 draws and 26 losses. This achievement undoubtedly adds to the brilliance of his Real Madrid coaching career.
To sum up, Alonso has remained calm about the Real Madrid coaching rumors, saying he has a lot of things to focus on at the moment, and coaching Real Madrid is not in his plans. He insists his relationship with Real Madrid is still strong, but for now his main task is to do a good job at Leverkusen.
