The Architect: From Myth to Challenge

“The Architect: From Myth to Challenge” analyzes the evolution of Xabi Alonso, a coach who arrived at Real Madrid with the ambition of building a new era. After his first few months, his leadership and tactical vision are confronted with the demands of a club where every decision is measured down to the last detail.

 

The documentary contrasts Alonso's glorious career as a player—a benchmark in Spain and Europe—with his initial successes as a coach at Real Sociedad B and Bayer Leverkusen, and explores how he is now facing one of the most complex challenges of his career: consolidating a project amid media pressure and the expectations of the elite.

 

Through exclusive testimonies and expert voices, this work offers an in-depth look at a coach who, far from giving up, seeks to reaffirm his style and prove that the legend can reinvent itself in the face of adversity.
