Nigerian football sensation, Victor Boniface, is poised to face a significant coaching change at his new club, Bayer Leverkusen.
Pulse Sports can report that LALIGA giants, Real Madrid, one of the biggest and most iconic clubs in the world, have chosen Xabi Alonso as the successor to Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti, who returned to Real Madrid for a second stint as head coach, has enjoyed a relatively successful tenure so far but Los Blancos have reportedly decided to go in a new direction with the appointment of Alonso according to Radio Marca.

Bayer Leverkusen’s Alonso
The former Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich midfield maestro is regarded as one of the best young coaches around following his outstanding work at Leverkusen.
Alonso’s time at the BayArena has been nothing short of impressive after leading the club to the semifinal of the UEFA Europa League last season in his first season at the club.
This season, the former World Cup winner has led his team to an unbeaten start to the season that has seen Die Werkself sit joint-top on the Bundesliga standing with champions Bayern Munich.
His possible appointment as the head coach of Real Madrid, one of Europe’s footballing giants, will be a testament to his rapid growth and the potential he brings to the game.
Per Marca, Los Blancos have decided that Alonso will take over the reins at Santiago Bernabeu next season.
“ "The first favourite to replace Ancelotti is Xabi Alonso,” Radio Marca stated on their website. “I have no doubt that he will be the coach of the white team. It's not a feeling, it's opinion. Today, Madrid have chosen Xabi Alonso to coach the team next year."
For Nigeria’s Boniface, this shake-up could bring both challenges and opportunities. Alonso was the man who engineered his move to the Arena and the 22-year-old has looked at home and settled since he joined the club.
With the former Union Saint-Gilloise man making strides in his career under the guidance of Alonso, his departure could impact what looks like a burgeoning career destined for greatness at Leverkusen.
