LaLiga: Real Madrid decides on coach to replace Ancelotti

Real Madrid have decided to appoint Xabi Alonso as their next manager.

According to Radio MARCA, the former Spain midfielder will replace Ancelotti ahead of the 2024/2025 season.

Alonso has been a first-team manager for less than a year after taking over Bayer Leverkusen last October.

Before then, he managed Real Sociedad's B team for three years.

Real's hierarchy are understood not to be concerned by Alonso's lack of managerial experience and have made the 41-year-old their preferred choice to become Ancelotti's successor.

Alonso spent six seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu as a player, winning LaLiga in 2012 and then the Champions League two years later during Ancelotti's first spell at the club.
