Xabi Alonso has announced the start of a new era at Real Madrid. Today, the 43-year-old Spaniard was unveiled as the club's new head coach.
"It's a special day for me, without a doubt. I will mark it in my calendar for the rest of my life.
I'm happy to be here. I consider this place my home. The connection with Real Madrid has never been broken. And when I entered the Valdebebas training center an hour and a half ago, that feeling was rekindled in me.
This is the beginning of a new era. Florentino, thank you for trusting me.
The Madrid fans are ready for the start of a new era and eagerly awaiting it. They expect us to become even greater, making this club's history even greater.
I also thank my family, who have always been with me," said Alonso.
