Alonso officially took charge of Real on June 1, 2025 after a successful spell at Bayer Leverkusen, where he won the domestic double in 2023/24 and led the team to the Europa League final.
After overseeing Madrid’s run to the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, he started in impressive fashion, winning 13 of his next 14 matches, with the only blemish being a crushing derby defeat to Atletico Madrid.
However, after a defeat on 4 November against Liverpool in the Champions League, the team’s form dipped, winning just twice in eight games. Although manager Alonso’s five-match winning streak provided temporary relief, it was not enough to convince club officials to keep him long-term.
