Jorge Valdano heeft de coach genoemd waarvan hij denkt dat deze het dichtst bij een overname bij Real Madrid staat \u2014 en het is noch Jos\u00e9 Mourinho, noch J\u00fcrgen Klopp.<\/p>\n

De voormalig speler, manager en sportief directeur van Real Madrid sprak over de toekomst van de club op de bank. Nu het contract van Carlo Ancelotti tot 2026 loopt, blijven de speculaties over wie het team als volgende zal leiden aanhouden.<\/p>\n

Valdano wees naar Bayer Leverkusen-baas Xabi Alonso als de sterkste kandidaat. De 42-jarige Spanjaard is een voormalig middenvelder van Real Madrid en heeft indruk gemaakt sinds hij de leiding over de Duitse club op zich nam.<\/p>\n

\u201cXabi Alonso is de naam die het dichtst bij het coachen van Real Madrid staat,\u201d zei Valdano in een recent interview. \u201cHij heeft het profiel waar de club naar op zoek is. Hij kent de instelling, de eisen en de druk van de Bernab\u00e9u.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alonso leidde Leverkusen in het seizoen 2023-24 naar een historische Bundesliga-titel zonder \u00e9\u00e9n competitiewedstrijd te verliezen. Zijn aanzien is daardoor in heel Europa sterk gestegen.<\/p>\n

Valdano verwierp het idee dat Mourinho of Klopp de overname zouden doen. \u201cMourinho had hier zijn tijd. Klopp is een geweldige coach, maar ik zie hem nu niet bij Madrid. Xabi is de natuurlijke keuze,\u201d voegde hij eraan toe.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid heeft nog geen offici\u00eble zet gedaan. Maar de opmerkingen van Valdano weerspiegelen een groeiend geloof binnen en buiten de club dat Alonso de man is die voor de functie is voorbestemd.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti blijft voorlopig aan het roer. De Italiaan heeft in zijn tweede periode twee Champions League-titels behaald. Maar de club plant al voor het leven na hem, en Alonso staat bovenaan de lijst.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
