This is actually a blessing in disguise for Manchester United or Liverpool. Alonso is now a free agent with a point to prove. His style is perfect for the Premier League. Madrid's loss is going to be England's gain. Imagine him taking over at Old Trafford and actually fixing that midfield. He won't be unemployed for long.

Unpopular opinion: Xabi Alonso was exposed. His Leverkusen 'invincibles' run was a lightning-in-a-bottle moment that he couldn't replicate when the pressure was real. At Madrid, he looked rigid. He tried to force his system on players like Mbappe and Vinicius who need freedom, and it backfired. He refused to adapt. He needs to go to a mid-tier Premier League club to actually learn his trade before trying a top job again.

Real Madrid is officially a circus. Sacking Xabi Alonso after 7 months is absolute madness. He had the best win percentage of any manager in the last decade, but one loss to Barcelona and Perez pulls the trigger?. This club has no patience for a 'project.' They chewed up a club legend just because he didn't win a treble in his first 6 months. It proves that no manager is safe there, not even a fan favorite. I hope he goes back to Germany where they actually respect tactics.
