Xabi Alonso has agreed on a deal to become the new manager of Borussia Mönchengladbach in June 2021.
The former Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid midfielder, 39, is currently in charge of Real Sociedad’s B team but will return to Germany in June to take the top job at Mönchengladbach.
Alonso will replace Marco Rose, who last month signed a deal to become Borussia Dortmund’s manager at the end of the season after activating a clause in his current contract.
