Xabi Alonso will be presented at Real Madrid on Monday. After Carlo Ancelotti’s imminent departure on the last matchday of LaLiga, the former Bayer Leverkusen coach will immediately begin his work, according to the Spanish Marca, among others.
The Basque coach, whose signing has still not been officially confirmed, will arrive at the club’s training ground in the morning. His Italian predecessor is expected to sign his contract in Brazil just hours later.
Alonso to the Club World Cup – Ancelotti and Modric Set to Leave
Alonso will lead the Royal Whites to the Club World Cup in the USA, where a major challenge awaits with the new tournament. Real’s first game there will take place on June 18th, against Al-Hilal.
Before Alonso takes over, Real fans have an emotional day ahead. In addition to Ancelotti, Luka Modric will also be bid farewell on Saturday – even though he is still supposed to go to the Club World Cup.
Also, Lucas Vázquez will probably play his last Real game in LaLiga.
