Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid, the big announcement

It's time to move on! Leaving at Real Madrid, where he takes over from Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso now knows the identity of his successor in Leverkusen.

Bayer, crowned Champion of Germany in 2024 for the first time in its history, opted for Erik Ten Hag. The Dutch technician inherits a team that has just finished second in Bundesliga, behind Bayern, and who will therefore compete in the next Champions League.

Erik Ten Hag had been without a club since the end of his adventure in Manchester United, last October. The former Ajax coach never officiated in Germany at the highest level. He had managed the Bayern Munich reserve between 2013 and 2015.
