Saint Sebastian –
Xabi Alonso answer rumors he will train Borussia Moenchengladbach, with a new contract from Real society. Alonso will still coach the club’s B team until 2022.
Alonso’s name is the strongest candidate to replace Marco Rose at Gladbach next season. Rose will indeed leave Gladbach to train Borussia Dortmund next season.
The appearance of Alonso as a candidate for Gladbach’s new coach is somewhat surprising. Because Alonso just started his career as a coach when he retired three years ago. While taking the UEFA elite coach course, Alonson handled the U-14 team.
It was only in 2019 that Alonso returned to his hometown to handle Real Sociedad B. Well, Alonso’s neat performance at the club was the reason Gladbach was after him. Unfortunately, Gladbach’s dream of recruiting Alonso had to be dashed.
Because, Alonso still wants to find experience at Sociedad, skyrocket young players, as well as get closer to his family. Therefore, Alonso received a new contract from Sociedad which holds him until 2022.
“I remain confident in this project and want to help the Zubieta (Sociedad Academy) players who want to enter the first team,” said Alonso, as quoted by Marca.
“We have a lot of targets and ambitions this season, because we always challenge ourselves,” he continued.
Xabi Alonso handle the team Real Sociedad B since June 1, 2019 with a total of 47 matches, 23 wins, 12 draws and 12 defeats. Sociedad B is currently playing in Segunda B, two levels below LaLiga.
Therefore, Borussia Moenchengladbach must look for new coach candidates again. Gladbach this season has performed poorly because it slumped in 10th place in the standings by 11 points from Eintracht Frankfurt in the top four.
