In a recent statement, Álvaro Arbeloa, the current head coach of Real Madrid, expressed that he has no intention of returning as an assistant coach. This announcement came in response to a question about the possibility of joining José Mourinho’s coaching staff should he take charge of the team again.
While acknowledging José Mourinho’s reputation as an exceptional coach, Arbeloa was clear about his future plans. He emphasized that he does not foresee himself working alongside Mourinho should the latter return to Real Madrid, stating:
“I won’t stay on the coaching staff under the next manager. José Mourinho has a fantastic staff, he’s surrounded by great professionals. If he comes, he’ll bring his own people, as it should be. There’s absolutely no chance I’ll work with him.” — Arbeloa stated.
