The name of Xabi Alonso has once again taken center stage in the world of football, but not as a midfielder, but as a promising coach. His successful work at the Bayer Leverkusen, which remains undefeated and leads the Bundesliga (19 points), has ignited speculation about his future on the sidelines, particularly as a possible successor to Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid starting next season.
The rumors that Xabi Alonso could return to his beloved club as a coach have gained strength due to a detail in his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. According to the German newspaper Bild, the German club and the Spanish coach agreed to a release clause that is only valid for three of his former teams: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool.
