Xabi Alonso, the new head coach of Real Madrid, expressed his confidence in continuing the achievements made by the club’s coaches throughout its rich history, noting that the upcoming phase marks the beginning of a new era following the departure of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti.

This came during the press conference held to officially present Alonso, where he described the day as an unforgettable moment in his life and affirmed his deep sense of belonging to Real Madrid, a connection that has never faded since the very first moment.

Alonso said, “I thank Florentino Pérez for his trust, and I feel the great enthusiasm of the club’s fans for the start of this new phase in which we aim to grow and write new chapters in Real Madrid’s history.”

The coach added, “I cannot forget the significant role played by Carlo Ancelotti, who was a remarkable coach and had a clear impact on the team. I am here to proudly and honorably continue his legacy.”

He continued, “We are starting a new era that unites the club and the fans. We have a talented team and tremendous capabilities. These factors give me strong motivation and positive energy to achieve the accomplishments that this historic club deserves, especially at the European level.”

Alonso concluded his speech by saying, “Our goal is to make the fans proud and to fill the stadium with joy and happiness. If we achieve that, we will become a force to be reckoned with.”
