Real Madrid is wasting no time in turning the page. This Saturday marks the end of a historic era at the club, as Carlo Ancelotti, Luka Modric, and Lucas Vázquez bid farewell to the Santiago Bernabéu. But just 48 hours later, a new chapter will begin—with Xabi Alonso stepping in as the club’s new head coach.

The official presentation of Xabi Alonso will take place on Monday morning at the Valdebebas Sports Complex, ushering in a fresh project that signals both a strategic and emotional transition. After his remarkable success at Bayer Leverkusen, where he made history by leading the club to unprecedented achievements, Alonso returns to Real Madrid with a clear mission: to build a new legacy, this time from the sidelines.

The former Real Madrid midfielder will sign a three-year contract, and his arrival is expected to bring a significant shake-up in the squad, starting with a symbolic change—Dani Carvajal will become the club’s new captain.

With legendary figures stepping aside and a promising young manager taking the reins, Real Madrid stands at the threshold of transformation. The club's past, present, and future converge this weekend in what promises to be one of the most emotional and defining moments in recent memory.
