Xabi Alonso will coach a Real Madrid youth team LaLiga - Real Madrid Solari's and Guti's respective roles won't be impacted

After enjoying a successful spell with Real Madrid as a player, Xabi Alonso will rejoin the club in a coaching capacity with one of the youth teams.

The former Bayern Munich midfielder will follow in the footsteps of Guti and Santiago Solari and return to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in such a way.

Raul and Alonso are currently taking UEFA's Elite coaching course at the Ciudad de Futbol de Las Rozas, which will end on Friday, as the pair look to earn their coaching qualifications.

Both are hopeful of becoming coaches, and for Alonso, that begins with this role with Los Blancos.

Xavi Hernandez, Victor Valdes and Joan Capdevila are also on the course, and the next step is for them to control a youth team for a single season.

Once this season has been completed, they will be as high a qualified football coach as possible within the UEFA bracket.

Raul is already involved with Madrid, and this next step is crucial for Alonso, four years since his departure from the Spanish capital.

Any such coaching reshuffle at Valdebebas is unlikely to impact Solari and Guti with the pair both expected to remain.

Solari's role is with the Castilla and Guti will continue to work with the Youth A team for a further season, despite previous rumours emerging that he would indeed leave the club in the summer.
