The President of Los Blancos believes that the Bayer Leverkusen coach is qualified enough to lead the team at the Santiago Bernabeu in the future.

After a 2-1 victory against Augsburg last night, Bayer Leverkusen has officially made Bundesliga history by becoming the first team to remain unbeaten throughout an entire season to date.

Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, his team is on the verge of a remarkable treble as Bayer Leverkusen prepares to face Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League final and Kaiserslautern from the second division in the German Cup final.

There’s no denying that Alonso has been a pivotal figure behind Leverkusen’s magnificent campaign in the 2023/24 season. His outstanding contributions have resonated loudly, with Real Madrid emerging as one of the top contenders eager to secure the services of the young coach once he departs Leverkusen.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez seems to have full confidence in Xabi Alonso. He believes that the Spanish coach has everything necessary to become the next manager of Real Madrid.

While Alonso has confirmed his commitment to Leverkusen for the next season, this news brings positive signals for Real Madrid’s future managerial plans.

Currently, coach Carlo Ancelotti’s contract only extends to 2026, despite leading Real Madrid to the Champions League final and winning the league this season. If Real Madrid encounters difficulties in the upcoming season, Ancelotti may face pressure to resign, opening up an opportunity for Alonso in 2025.

This timing aligns well with Alonso’s development process. Leverkusen’s impressive season under his leadership demonstrates that he may be ready to tackle bigger challenges next year, and returning to the Santiago Bernabeu – where he once contributed – could be part of the young coach’s plans.

Perez and Xabi have maintained a strong relationship since his playing days at Real Madrid until now.

As a respected figure and club legend, Alonso holds great potential for the future of Los Blancos – he could lead an ambitious project known as Galacticos 3.0.

However, Real Madrid may face stiff competition from other European giants in the race for Xabi Alonso’s signature. Manchester City could be involved in the search for a new manager in 2025, while clubs like Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Chelsea may also be interested in the Spanish coach.

But for now, Xabi Alonso will focus on conquering the remainder of the season. He will aim to help Leverkusen clinch the Europa League and the German Cup while also starting to plan for the next season, where Leverkusen will compete in the Champions League.
