Xabi Alonso will be the new coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach, according to information from the magazine "Sport Bild" and the newspaper "Bild".
Xabi Alonso, who speaks German - he learned it in his days as a Bayern Munich player - would be, after
Pep Guardiola
, the second Spaniard to assume the position of coach in a Bundesliga team.
The former Real Sociedad, Liverpool and Real Madrid player was at Bayern between 2014 and 2017, when he ended his career.
Gladbach's sporting director,
Max Eberl
,
declined
to comment on the information.
If the news is confirmed, Xabi Alonso would succeed
Marco Rose
, who will go on to direct Borussia Dortmund.
Gladbach, which went through a crisis after it was known that Rose would not continue, currently occupy the tenth place in the Bundesliga standings, but are only four points below the boxes that give the classification to the Europa League.
Xabi Alonso currently manages the second team of Real Sociedad in the Second Division B.
