Bayer Leverkusen CEO tips Xabi Alonso to become Real Madrid manager

Bayer Leverkusen CEO, Carro, has hinted that manager Xabi Alonso could coach Real Madrid in the near future.

Alonso has already confirmed he is not leaving the freshly-crowned Bundesliga champions ahead of next season.

The former Spain midfielder had been heavily tipped to join Bayern Munich or Liverpool in the summer.

But Carro has now claimed Alonso might not say no to Real.

“It’s possible that Xabi Alonso will become Real Madrid manager one day, yes,” Carro told Diario AS.

“Many clubs want Alonso, maybe one day he can work for one of them, especially those where he used to play, but he’s happy here now, that’s why he’s staying.

“Release clause? It’s a confidential matter between us.”
