Real Madrid CF have had a disappointing season and the situation worsened further this week when Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde clashed, an incident that left the Uruguayan in hospital. There were high expectations last summer when Xabi Alonso took over from Carlo Ancelotti, but that period now seems a long way off.
When Alonso arrived from Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Real Madrid were hoping he would rival FC Barcelona in La Liga and also aim for a 16th Champions League title. Although he won the first Clasico 2-1 at the Bernabeu, the defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final sealed the end of his adventure, as he left a few days later by mutual consent.
According to reports from Cadena SER, Alonso is now regretting choosing Real Madrid in 2025, as he feels it was not the right time to return to the Bernabeu as a coach. He believes that the chaotic situation this season is proof of this.
The recent tensions at the club, which culminated in the incident between Tchouameni and Valverde, began after Alonso's departure in January. Some players were unhappy with the departure of the Spanish coach, while others welcomed his departure.
However, Alonso could return to Real Madrid in the future, but at the moment this possibility seems remote. He is already thinking about his future job, while in the summer there could also be an opportunity at his former club, Liverpool FC, if the English decide to part ways with coach Arne Slot.
