Xabi Alonso's homecoming at Real Madrid; La Liga club appoint Bayer Leverkusen manager as Carlo Ancelotti's successor
Real Madrid have officially announced the appointment of Xabi Alonso as their new head coach on a three-year deal, following the departure of Carlo Ancelotti. The Spaniard returns to the Santiago Bernabue - a place where he spent six seasons as a player and won numerous trophies. Xabi signs a three-year contract which ends at June 2028.

'Real Madrid CF confirms that Xabi Alonso will be the Real Madrid coach for the next three seasons, from 1 June 2025, until 30 June 2028,' the La Liga club said in a statement. One of the legends of the game, Xabi made 236 appearances for Real Madrid between 2009 and 2014, and won six titles - European Cup, one European Super Cup, one La Liga title, two Copa del Rey and one Spanish Super Cup.

Dortmund crash Alonso farewell party with 4-2 loss against Leverkusen
BerlincTypeface:> Borussia Dortmund spoilt the home farewell party for coach Xabi Alonso with a stunning 4-2 triumph at Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday to keep their Champions League ambitions alive. Julian Brandt, Julian Ryerson, Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy reversed Leverkusen's lead from Jeremie Frimpong for Dortmund's sixth victory from seven unbeaten games. Jonas Hofmann got a late second for Leverkusen who suffered their third season defeat, all at home. Dortmund in fifth are all but certain to play in Europe next season, and one point behind Freiburg can still snatch fourth place for a Champions League berth on the final matchday Saturday. Aloso, who famously led Leverkusen to a historic unbeaten Bundesliga title and the German Cup last season, was honoured by club bosses amid 'Xabi, Xabi' chants from the fans, after confirming on Friday he would be leaving after the season, possibly for Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso: "This club will remain in my heart forever"
Despite the 4-2 defeat to Champions League chasing Borussia Dortmund, there was a party atmosphere at BayArena after Bayer Leverkusen's last home game of the season. Xabi Alonso and Jonathan Tah celebrated the occasion with the fans as they leave the club this summer. The double-winning coach shares his appreciation for the club and its fans after the game. "The team, the staff, and every single player put their trust in me. They believed in my ideas. That was crucial for me and my journey here," said the coach who is now linked with Real Madrid's job. Ahead of kickoff, Leverkusen also announced a street named after Alonso by giving him the sign in front of fans. "Getting a street sign with my name on it makes me incredibly happy and proud. It means so much to me because it comes from the fans! "I have many emotions inside me: I'm proud of what we've achieved here, and I'm grateful for everything we've done. I'll always have very fond memories of my time at Bayer 04, because I was able to develop as a coach here. This club will remain in my heart forever." The fans chanted 'Xabi! Xabi!' throughout the game and after the final whistle to thank the architect behind last season's magical run. Tah, who captained the side in his final appearance at BayArena, also revisits the good times after deciding to leave the club he spent 10 years with. "We achieved the double together. No one will ever take that away from us. Thank you for the years. You're forever in my heart. And, I will never forget you. Thank you for everything," said Tah in front of fans after the final whistle.
