MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – “This professional stage is over, and it didn’t go as we would have liked. Coaching Real Madrid has been an honor and a responsibility. I thank the club, the players and above all the fans and Madrid fans for their trust and support. I leave with respect, gratitude and pride that I did my best.” A few words, but no trace of resentment, for Xabi Alonso, who took to his Instagram page to bid farewell to Real Madrid fans after yesterday’s split.
Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp, guest on Austrian TV channel Servus, immediately withdrew from the potential race for succession. “The divorce between Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid? This has nothing to do with me and doesn’t concern me at all,” emphasized the former Liverpool manager, who prefers to continue his role as coordinator of the Red Bull Group’s football-related activities. “Where I am now is the right place for me,” assured Klopp, though he was sorry for his Spanish colleague.
