Xabi Alonso to Return to Management in Premier League

Xabi Alonso, 44, is set to return to management in the Premier League. The move comes four months after he left his role at Real Madrid.

Alonso’s departure from Real Madrid occurred after a brief tenure that began last summer. He had taken over the Bernabeu club in the summer of 2023.

In recent comments, Alonso expressed regret about his decision to accept the Real Madrid job. He indicated that the experience did not meet his expectations.

The Premier League appointment will see Alonso start a new professional chapter back in England. He is preparing to relocate to the country.

The announcement suggests that Alonso’s next managerial role will be confirmed shortly. The upcoming season could see him take charge of a top‑flight English side.

Alonso’s return to English football follows his earlier playing career in the Premier League. His managerial comeback adds to his longstanding connection with English football.
