Football The ex-midfielder will lead a team of amateurs

Former Real Madrid, Liverpool Bayern Munich and Real Sociedad midfielder Xabi Alonso has decided to begin his coaching career by leading a team of amateur players.

Alonso, who worked under most of the game's greatest managers from Carlo Ancelotti and Rafael Benitez to Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, will have a wealth of knowledge to pass on in his career on the sidelines.

The players have been gathered from the United Kingdom, Spain, Mexico, France, Germany and Italy and will work under the team name of Tango Squad FC.

Beginning on October 16, they will begin a series of chapters, with the help of Adidas, in which Alonso will accompany the players to learn from some of the best players in the world.
