May 24 (Bloomberg) - According to Spanish media outlet Relevo, Leverkusen believes current manager Javi
Alonso
will head to Real Madrid to coach in 2025.
There is a belief within Leverkusen that it is almost inevitable that Alonso will take charge of Real Madrid at some point, and that 2025 is the perfect year to make that happen. This speculation explains why Alonso turned down offers from Liverpool and Bayern this summer.
Alonso is an important part of Real Madrid's future plans. With the center forward change already complete, Alonso is seen as the first choice for the Real Madrid manager. Despite a disappointing performance in the UEFA Cup final, Alonso's coaching record at Leverkusen has made him a world-class coach. The Real Madrid side believes that Alonso is the ideal coach to lift the young team.
However, there are also variables in Alonso's plans to head to Real Madrid in 2025. If Real Madrid continue to be successful in the upcoming season, current boss Carlo Ancelotti's reign could be extended. In that case, Alonso will have to wait for Ancelotti to finish his stint at Real Madrid before he can take up his post.
