Real Madrid has shot a big page in its history. After two more than memorable passages with the White House, Carlo Ancelotti was thanked by the Madrid management. A heartbreaker for Madrid who must go through there to achieve better performance next season. To achieve this, the Merengues board decided to appoint Xabi Alonso on the club's bench. Former major midfielder of the capital's club, the 43 -year -old tactician will try to reissue what he did at Bayer Leverkusen on the side of the Santiago Bernabéu. And while the Spanish coach has already started taking his marks for a few weeks, the Club World Cup is fast approaching for Real.
A competition in which Diego Simeone will also participate with Atlético de Madrid. Questioned by the Argentine press on Tuesday, the Colchoneros coach was asked about the arrival of Xabi Alonso at Real. The opportunity for the Argentinian to share his excitement with the idea of facing the team of Xabi Alonso next season: “He recruits a raw player, a man who understands the needs of the club he joins, who knows the president, people, the field has a way of working, and what he has accomplished so far is magnificent; The penultimate season, in Leverkusen, was superior, even extraordinary. I am convinced that he will play Real Madrid as he understands football, as Luis Enrique does in Paris, for example.»»
