Real Madrid have appointed their former midfielder Xabi Alonso as manager on a three-year deal.
Alonso, who made 236 appearances for Real Madrid as a player, announced earlier this month that he would leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season.
The former Spain midfielder, 43, led Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title - without losing a game - and the German Cup in his first full season as a senior club manager during the 2023-24 campaign.
Alonso, who has signed a deal running until 30 June 2028, succeeds Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian took charge of his final game for the Spanish giants on Saturday, and will now become coach of Brazil.
