The Spanish coach Xabi Alonso, manager of German club Bayer Leverkusen, has announced the imminent end of his journey with the team by the end of the current season. He confirmed that the next two matches in the Bundesliga would be his last with the club. These statements, made by Alonso during a press conference about his team's upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund, came as a surprise to fans and followers, who had expected him to stay longer after his success during his time as manager.

Xabi Alonso, who has led Bayer Leverkusen impressively this season, is strongly linked with a move to coach Spanish club Real Madrid next season, after reports confirmed that the royal club's management wants to replace current coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is expected to leave at the end of the season. Although Alonso has not officially confirmed his move to Madrid, media reports continue to increase on this subject, as speculation about the future of the Italian coach grows.

In the press conference, Alonso stated: "I have agreed with the club that the next two matches will be my last with Bayer Leverkusen. It has been a wonderful period here, and I am grateful to everyone at the club for the opportunity to manage the team." These words reflect the strong relationship Alonso has with the club and its fans, especially as the team is in a strong position in the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen, currently sitting in a top position in the Bundesliga table, faces a tough challenge in the upcoming matches, as they play two crucial games in their quest to secure a place in European competitions next season. The first match will be against Borussia Dortmund in the penultimate round of the league, scheduled for Sunday evening. Despite the season nearing its end, Leverkusen's matches remain important as the team aims for the best possible results.

Meanwhile, news regarding Real Madrid has been confirmed, as multiple Spanish reports have stated that the club is preparing to announce Carlo Ancelotti's departure at the end of the season, after much speculation about his future. According to these reports, Ancelotti decided to leave the team after the El Clasico match against Barcelona in La Liga, regardless of the result. This match, eagerly awaited by millions of football fans, could be the turning point for the Italian coach, who has led Real Madrid to numerous achievements, including winning the UEFA Champions League.

This season has not been easy for Real Madrid, as the team was eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals by English club Arsenal, in a match many described as disappointing for the club's supporters. Additionally, the team lost the Copa del Rey final to their traditional rival Barcelona, further increasing pressure on Ancelotti, who has not been able to lead the team to win any domestic trophies this season.

In addition to their exit from European and domestic competitions, Real Madrid is struggling in La Liga, trailing leaders Barcelona by four points, who are at the top of the table with 79 points, with four rounds remaining in the season. This small gap means that any slip-ups in the upcoming matches could complicate the team’s position in the title race.

On the other hand, speculations continue to grow about the identity of the new Real Madrid coach. Xabi Alonso is considered one of the leading candidates to replace Ancelotti, given his previous experience as a player at the club and his ability to manage teams successfully. Alonso, who has earned a good reputation in the sports world, began his coaching career at Bayer Leverkusen about two years ago, where he delivered impressive performances and led the team back to European competitions.

Real Madrid is expected to announce their final decision regarding the new coach in the coming weeks, especially with the season coming to a close. Some reports suggest that the club has already started negotiations with prominent coaches, with Alonso placed at the top of the list. If confirmed, this appointment would make Alonso the second Spanish coach to take the helm of Real Madrid in a short period of time, following Zinedine Zidane.

This announcement about Alonso's departure from Bayer Leverkusen comes at a critical time, as many football fans around the Arab world and Europe are eagerly awaiting the next developments, both regarding Xabi Alonso's future with Real Madrid and the fate of Ancelotti with the royal club. Real Madrid fans are keenly watching what will unfold in the coming days, especially since the team needs a clear strategy to return to winning trophies after a difficult season.

In general, the future of managers in football remains a topic of intense debate, as destinies and crucial decisions intertwine amidst fierce competition and the immense pressure faced by each coach at the biggest European clubs. As the season ends, many issues will become clear, and top clubs will begin planning for the next season.
