Xabi Alonso could be Zinedine Zidane's replacement

The Spanish coach of Real Sociedad B could have a big future in the game

Real Madrid’s bench may have a new figure on it next season, with Zinedine Zidane likely to leave the club. Florentino Perez may have to pick a replacement and among the options is Xabi Alonso. He has helped Real Sociedad B reach the second division, a level they only managed once before, in 1960. 

He’s got less experience than Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte, who other options, but he’s potentially more exciting for Madrid fans.

He’s got a good relationship with Perez after playing for six years at Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso was also linked to Borussia Monchengladbach but he preferred to extend his contract with Real Sociedad until 2022.
