🕰️ When Will Xabi Alonso Officially Start as Real Madrid Manager?
As Real Madrid prepares for a new chapter, fans are eagerly awaiting the official unveiling of Xabi Alonso as the club’s next head coach. While the announcement is still pending, strong reports indicate that it’s only a matter of when, not if.
✅ Expected Start Date: July 2025 Pre-Season
Sources close to the club suggest that Xabi Alonso is set to take charge at the beginning of Real Madrid’s 2025 pre-season, likely in early July. The club plans to confirm his appointment immediately after the UEFA Champions League Final if all goes according to plan.
Alonso will officially begin his duties with:
- 📅 Pre-season training (July 2025)
- 🏟️ First friendlies in the U.S. or Asia as part of the club’s summer tour
- 🎙️ Official unveiling and press conference shortly after confirmation
Why the Delay?
Real Madrid is currently focused on finishing the 2024/25 season under Carlo Ancelotti, who remains in charge until the end of June. Out of respect for Ancelotti’s achievements and to maintain squad focus during the Champions League run, the club is delaying the official announcement until after the final.
What’s Next for Xabi Alonso?
Alonso is expected to:
- Lead the 2025–26 season project
- Integrate rising talents like Arda Güler and Endrick
- Work closely with stars such as Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr., and potentially Kylian Mbappé
His modern tactical approach and deep understanding of Real Madrid’s DNA make him the ideal figure to guide Los Blancos into a new era.
