Xabi Alonso is to take over the reins earlier than expected at Real Madrid. But he wants that at all – or is it a failure with an announcement.
The change from Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid is still not officially, but there is already the first surprise: As reported by the Marca in Spain, the still Bayer Leverkusen should already take over the royal at the club World Cup.
So far, it was repeatedly speculated that Madrid, after the upcoming – and also not yet officially announced – could rely on Carlo Ancelotti on an interim solution. The options mentioned were young coaches Raul and sports director Santiago Solari.
Xabi Alonso should apparently take over earlier than expected
“Zero experiments with Solari. Xabi from now on,” the Marca now writes. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real assumes that Alonso will take the task before the start of the next season.
Club World Cup could become a problem for Alonso
Explosive: The sport, based in Barcelona, writes in turn that Alonso is not so much at the club World Cup.
The reasons: Madrid is in a sporting crisis, has to complain about numerous injuries and also park various national players for the Nations League final Four – which could hardly have any reserves left at the end of a long season.
Truly no rosy chances of success. The tournament, which begins on June 14th, could become a first setback, according to the report.
