Here’s a recent soccer story from the AP:

BERLIN (AP) — Toni Kroos has been voted Germany’s player of the year for the 2023-24 season while Xabi Alonso won the coaching accolade for leading unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title.

The 34-year-old Kroos won the award organized by German sports magazine Kicker for the second time Sunday after being voted player of the year in 2018.

Kroos ended his stellar playing career last month after Germany’s European Championship exit to eventual champion Spain, having helped Real Madrid to a Champions League and Spanish league double last season.

Kroos received 285 votes in the Kicker poll, ahead of Germany teammate Florian Wirtz of Leverkusen who received 246, and Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka, also of Leverkusen, who received 66.

Leverkusen’s success — finally ending Bayern Munich’s 11-year Bundesliga run and staying unbeaten in the league all season — ensured Alonso won Germany’s coach of the year award for the first time. Leverkusen also won the German Cup for an undefeated domestic double.

The 42-year-old Alonso, who took over as Leverkusen coach in October 2022 when it was second from bottom in the Bundesliga, gathered 503 votes, finishing ahead of Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß (42) and Heidenheim coach Frank Schmidt (50).

Stuttgart was second in the Bundesliga while Heidenheim finished eighth in its first ever top-flight season after Schmidt led it to promotion the season before.

Here’s some of the latest Real Madrid news, courtesy of the Associated Press:

MADRID (AP) — Carlo Ancelotti says he expects Real Madrid to be his last club job and is “not so excited” about coaching a national team.

Ancelotti has a contract at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for another two years.

Last season, Brazil hoped to lure him.

However, the 65-year-old Italian is not enamored by the thought of swapping a club for a country.

“My idea is that Real Madrid will be my last club,” he told former Chelsea midfielder Jon Obi Mikel’s Obi One podcast. “If there is an opportunity for a national team, I don’t know.

“I’m not so excited at coaching a national team because I would lose what I like most, the day to day. I really enjoy what I’m doing.

“This is my season number 29 as a coach. It’s true that I have won a lot but imagine the number of titles I lost.”

Ancelotti was the first manager to win the domestic titles at Europe’s top five major leagues. He’s also the most successful coach in Champions League history: Winning with Madrid in 2014, 2022 and 2024 across two stints, and with AC Milan in 2003 and 2007.
