It appears that Xabi Alonso, the current head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, has clear aspirations of managing Real Madrid in the future. According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Alonso’s path seems destined to lead him back to the Santiago Bernabéu, not as a player this time, but as the man in charge of the team. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano revealed insider insights into the situation, saying:

“Xabi Alonso will one day become the manager of Real Madrid. That is almost inevitable. Whether it happens this upcoming summer or perhaps the next year, it is only a matter of time.”
Romano emphasized that while no final decision has been made yet, the possibility of Alonso taking over the reins at Real Madrid is a very real and serious consideration within the club. The current situation with Carlo Ancelotti adds another layer of intrigue. Real Madrid is going through a challenging period — a string of disappointing performances has raised questions about the future direction of the team. The club recently suffered a setback with a loss to Valencia in La Liga, and their standing in the league table has taken a hit. Additionally, their Champions League campaign faced a blow with a defeat against Arsenal. These recent results have intensified the pressure on the current management and have naturally led to speculation about potential changes.
Romano continued by explaining the sentiment inside the club:
“There is a strong belief within Real Madrid that Alonso will be the manager at some point. The internal atmosphere suggests that the club sees him as the natural successor to Ancelotti. He is not just a candidate — he is the candidate.”
What makes Alonso’s potential return to Madrid even more compelling is his previous connection with the club. Having played for Real Madrid during his career, Alonso is already familiar with the club’s culture, values, and expectations. This background gives him a unique advantage and makes the idea of him returning as head coach even more appealing to the club’s leadership.
Romano added another key piece of information:
“Last summer, Alonso had the opportunity to join Bayern Munich or even consider offers from other major European clubs. However, he declined those opportunities. He made a deliberate choice, because he knows — and firmly believes — that one day he will be leading Real Madrid.”
While Alonso remains fully focused on his current responsibilities at Bayer Leverkusen — where he has been enjoying significant success — he is also aware that Real Madrid is already working on a long-term strategy that includes bringing him back as the team’s manager.
Romano concluded his comments by saying:
“At this point, Xabi Alonso isn’t just one option for Real Madrid. He’s option one, two, three, four, and five. He is the undisputed favorite of club president Florentino Pérez, who sees Alonso as the perfect fit for the job. His coaching style, vision, and professionalism are deeply admired within the club. There is a great deal of respect for how Alonso works, and that admiration continues to grow.”
In essence, all signs point to Xabi Alonso eventually becoming the man to lead Real Madrid into a new era.
