Xabi Alonso has been named La Liga Manager of the Month for August 2025. It is a remarkable start to his time at Real Madrid.
The award came after a flawless run. Alonso led Real Madrid to three straight wins. The team scored six goals and conceded just one. This strong start placed them at the top of La Liga.
The competition was tough. Managers like Ernesto Valverde and Manolo GonzΓ‘lez were also in the running. In the end, goal difference tipped the scales in Alonsoβs favor.
This recognition highlights a smooth transition to life at the BernabΓ©u. Xabi Alonso took over from Carlo Ancelotti in June on a three-year contract. He arrived with an impressive record after managing Bayer Leverkusen.
Fans and analysts are impressed. Alonsoβs tactical clarity has given Real Madrid both attacking flair and defensive discipline. Many believe this is a sign of more success ahead.
Alonso, however, remains modest. He said wins are more important to him than personal awards. The honor, he added, is a welcome bonus to a strong team performance.
