EKO HOT BLOG reports that respected transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Monday that Real Madrid have sealed a deal with Alonso to take over the managerial role, with a contract running until 2028.

“Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid, here we go! Story confirmed and deal sealed for Xabi as new manager until 2028,” Romano announced via his official X account.

Alonso’s appointment signals the end of Carlo Ancelotti’s illustrious spell at the helm. The Italian tactician, who has enjoyed two highly successful stints with the club, is expected to step down at the close of the current campaign. His exit will pave the way for Alonso to usher in a new era of leadership.

In preparation for the transition, Real Madrid have reportedly finalised Alonso’s full coaching staff and support team. The club is aligning all logistics for him to begin his duties during the next FIFA Club World Cup, where the Spanish giants are likely to participate as UEFA Champions League winners.

Romano added, “Staff sorted, contract in place and three-year deal for Alonso with Real planning for him to start at FIFA Club World Cup.”

Ancelotti will bow out with grace, having etched his name in club history by delivering multiple trophies and guiding the team through memorable campaigns. The club is said to be focused on ensuring a smooth handover between the two football minds.
