Inside Xabi Alonso’s First Day as Real Madrid Manager

  • On Monday morning at 7:30 a.m., Xabi Alonso conducted his debut training at Valdebebas as the new head coach of Real Madrid.
  • Alonso replaced Carlo Ancelotti last month and intends to build around homegrown talent while preparing tactical changes.
  • He plans to deploy Arda Guler in a deeper midfield role amid competition from new signing Franco Mastantuono, a technically similar creative left-footed player.
  • At training, only five players including Lucas Vázquez and Rodrygo were fully fit, six others like Courtois did light exercises, and four players, such as Rüdiger, have not trained yet.
  • With limited time before the team’s U.S. tour on Saturday, Alonso’s hands-on approach and youth focus have sparked excitement but leave tactical work constrained.
