Real Madrid announced on Sunday the signing of Xabi Alonso as. The Basque, 43, signs until June 30, 2028 a contract that enters into force as of June 1, and will be the white coach during the Club World Cup that starts in the United States on the 14th after the farewell this Saturday with all the honors of course to the Brazilian team. This Monday, at 12.30, it will be presented in the Sports City of Valdebebas.
The club had already unofficially confirmed the arrival of Tolosarra two weeks ago, on Monday 12 as the Canarinha He communicated Carletto’s hiring, but the note that put everything black on white was missing. One to the live with the departure of the Italian, which was not announced until last Friday. Alonso’s landing was such a sung issue that even Ancelotti referred to her in Saturday’s press conference with total normality, although the official confirmation of the club had not yet occurred.
The exceptional circumstances of the calendar due to the inclusion of the new tournament make the change on the bench be executed in early June with a championship even without starting, so unknown in its sports cache as an appetizing in the economic. Madrid will enter 33.4 million only for participating, plus 1.7 per victory, 0.9 per tie, and 6.6 if it passes to the round of 16, 11.5 for accessing rooms, 18.5 if it reaches semifinals, 26.4 if it remains runner -up and 35.2 if the title rises.
New signings
The institutional interest is high in this World Cup, for the international dimension and the boot of awards, and tries to advance the signature of the new signings. The central is already tied for June 1, while it is pending to resolve whether the right side Trent Alexander-Arnold may also be incorporated on that date, something that requires an agreement with the Liverpool, and if it closes a left side for this tournament.
The World Cup will be, in equal parts, the first sports challenge for Xabi Alonso and a test field for the next campaign, since the following preseason is minimized. Barcelona, for example, will begin training on the same day (July 13) of the Final of the Club World Cup. And until the team travels to the United States, it will not have many players in Valdebebas to work because much of the workforce will be with its selections.
Beginning in Valdebebas
Alonso, former player of Madrid between 2009 and 2014 (was led by Ancelotti in his last season at Bernabéu), said goodbye a week ago, where he arrived in October 2022 in his first experience in Elite football, and where he left with the first Bundesliga in the history of the club. The newly finished course ended second.
After retiring at Bayern in 2017, he started on the benches precisely in Valdebebas, with the Infant A, in the 2018-19 season, and the next course he jumped to the quarry of the Royal Society. There he assumed the first subsidiary, in Second B, which amounted to second in 2021, although he could not maintain the category. In June 2022, Zubieta left the months of the Leverkusen commission, which was in descent positions in the Bundesliga. That season ended in European positions, until the next (23-24) achieved the milestone of raising German league and cup, with a single game lost throughout the year, in the Europa League final against the Atalanta. A success that placed it definitively on the map and that now takes it to the Bernabéu volcano.
