Former Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has taken a hiatus after parting ways with the Madrid club and is currently spending time with his family, avoiding the public eye. This is reported by the publication Marca.

Alonso officially said goodbye to Real Madrid last week, thanking the club, players and fans for their support.

Xabi Alonso is currently in San Sebastian with his family. According to the source, the coach deliberately distanced himself from public events and does not plan to give interviews in the near future. It is focused on relaxation after a busy period of career.

Among the potential destinations are Liverpool, as well as other English giants. Xabi Alonso is not expected to return to coaching until July, and he will have more than enough offers.
