[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Real Madrid has decided to let Xabi Alonso lead them in the Club World Cup. The report states that Alonso will lead Real Madrid in the Club World Cup. Real Madrid and Alonso have reached an agreement, and the Club World Cup to be held in the U.S. this summer is crucial for Florentino Perez and his board. The prestige of winning the first Club World Cup and the huge reward of nearly €150 million have forced Real Madrid to choose their trusted future coach. From now on, Alonso will be fully responsible. However, Alonso faces many problems right away. First, Real Madrid has not won any major titles this season. Second, many key players are injured. Third, the physical condition of the team has reached its limit. Fourth, some players know that they may not stay at Real Madrid next season. Fifth, Alonso has little time as most players have national team games before the Club World Cup. Therefore, Alonso’s task is not easy, as he will implement a five-defender system when he arrives at Real Madrid. We will see if this change happens in June this year or waits until the start of the 2025/26 season.
