The great head coach of Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso, could continue his career in France, but he was convinced by the Marseille proposal. RMC Sport informs about this.

The French club considered the 44-year Spanish footballer as a replacement for Roberto De Zerbi, who was recently fired as the head coach of the Ligue 1 team. However, Alonso inspired the proposition.

According to Dzherel, the reason for this decision was the unstable situation in the middle of the club. Another favorite in the Marseille coaching chair is Khabib Bey, who was a fan of Rennes until 2026.

Previously, there was also information that Alonso could defeat Manchester City and become Pep Guardiola's attacker.

We remember that the Spanish specialist was released from Real Madrid after the defeat in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona (2:3). Under his leadership, Madrid played 34 matches: 24 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses.

Previously, Alonso also competed with Real Sociedad and Bayer, thereby achieving the championship in the German Bundeslisa.
