Real Madrid informed Xabi Alonso that there will be an interim manager for the Club World Cup. Alonso will start his role from scratch in the 2025/26 season.
The news was a positive development for Alonso, who had been in talks with the club, according to Relevo.
One month ago, Alonso had a long phone call with someone at Real Madrid. During the conversation, the club asked him to be patient, noting there was still much to be decided.
After the games against Arsenal and Barcelona, the situation moved forward. Alonso prefers to start from scratch in 2025/26 instead of the Club World Cup. He wants a better understanding of the squad and the chance to work with new signings.
