Real Madrid is clear that Xabi Alonso is the leader of the project, above the players, no matter how important they may be for the club both at a sporting and institutional level. The commitment to the Basque coach remains in place despite the poor results of the last three matches, which have compromised the team's league leadership (now the lead, which was as much as five points, is only one) and led to the first defeat in the European campaign.In Valdebebas, there is no doubt that Xabi Alonso, a coach who was strongly backed last summer, is the ideal professional to lead the squad. In this sense, the results support the coach, who despite recent setbacks and doubts, has the team in a position to fight for the two titles that are already at stake, in this case LaLiga and the Champions League, while waiting for the Supercopa de Espana and the Copa del Rey, which will come into play in 2026. Real Madrid insists that "the coach is the boss", and in this sense supports all the coach's decisions, which include controversial decisions such as the substitutions of Vinicius (four so far this season) or tests of different tactical formations, such as the five-man defense arranged in the team's last match, this past Sunday against Elche. In this sense, confidence in the Basque coach's ability is total, backed by his so far short but successful career as a coach, crowned by the titles he won in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen. Kylian Mbappe shows why he is on his prime and Real Madrid looks scary The right coach The club considers the turbulence arising from the team's recent setbacks, especially in the two La Liga matches against Rayo and Elche, to be normal to a certain extent, but does not doubt Alonso's suitability, as he signed a long contract for three seasons. The idea remains that the Spanish coach is the most suitable candidate to lead the new era opened after the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, the most successful coach in the history of the institution. A decision that the club considers so far endorsed by the results.
