The 37-year-old has signed a two-year deal with his boyhood club, where he made 124 appearances before joining Liverpool in 2004.
Alonso joins Sociedad from Real Madrid, where he spent the season working as a youth coach. He replaces Aitor Zulaika, who has been sacked.
Alonso won the Champions League and the FA Cup during his five-year spell with Liverpool, before moving to Real Madrid.
