The newly appointed coach of Real Madrid Xabi Alonso spoke warmly about his predecessor Carlo Ancelotti, who left the "Royal Club" after the season ended.
— I will not stop talking about the era that is coming to an end. About how I changed Carlo Ancelotti. He was my coach and a great person. A person who left a piece of himself in my heart. And perhaps, without his mastery, I would not be here. I take his legacy with great honor, — said Xabi Alonso.
