Real Madrid took care to soften Alonso's departure, stating that the separation was consensual, but the media in Spain have another version, writing with conviction that Alonso did not want to leave, but then gave in to pressure and the fact that he no longer had the support of either the team's directors or senators. For Alonso, this was a strong blow as he leaves Madrid after a few months, moreover he feels betrayed by president Perez who did everything to get him out of Leverkusen.
Despite this failure, Xabi Alonso remains one of the most coveted coaches on the market. The media writes that Alonso is a concrete option for at least 3 big European teams. First on the list is Liverpool, with his former team also seeking him when Jurgen Klopp left.
According to AS, Alonso could take over at the Reds if Arne Slot leaves. According to the Spanish daily, the former Real Madrid coach is also an option for the Manchester City bench, should Pep Guardiola decide to leave at the end of this season.
Alonso is also an option for Bayern Munich, with the German giants reportedly interested in him before handing over the reins to Vincent Kompany. For now, Alonso is away from the Bayern bench after Kompany renewed his contract with Bayern and is having a fantastic season.
