Carlo Ancelotti, who signed a contract renewal with Real Madrid in December, is committed to the club until 2026. However, the nature of football management means that tenure lengths are often uncertain, and there are no guarantees that Ancelotti will remain with the club for the duration of his contract.

Despite the swirling rumors, Alonso has maintained that he has not held any negotiations with Real Madrid. However, he does have a significant admirer in Florentino Pérez, the club’s president. Pérez has expressed his belief in Alonso’s capabilities, stating that Alonso possesses all the qualities necessary to one day take the helm at Real Madrid.

As Bayer Leverkusen celebrates their invincible season, the football world will undoubtedly keep a close eye on Xabi Alonso’s next steps. Whether he remains in the Bundesliga or moves on to new challenges, Alonso’s managerial career is clearly on a promising trajectory, with his tactical acumen and leadership skills earning him respect and admiration across Europe.
