"Liverpool legend Xabi Alonso is facing heavy scrutiny at Real Madrid. Los Blancos actually lost to Liverpool in the Champions League earlier this season, and the 15-time champions of Europe are said to be embroiled in a civil war, with many of the Basque boss's decisions described by The Mirror as divisive. Real Madrid have only lost just once in La Liga all season, but with pressure mounting at the Bernabeu over his handling of the club's Galacticos,"
"Ranked at no.6 in FourFourTwo's list of the best managers in the world right now, Alonso spent five seasons on Merseyside and was linked with the manager's job when Jurgen Klopp announced his intention to step aside in 2023. Arne Slot took the role when Alonso remained in charge at Bayer Leverkusen for another year but after winning the title in his first term in charge, the Dutchman has lost seven of his last eight Premier League games and is under pressure himself."
