Xabi Alonso’s Concise Take on Arbeloa’s Impact and Legacy

Recently, Xabi Alonso has come under scrutiny at Real Madrid. With disappointing performances and increasing frustrations within the squad, the Spanish coach, who joined this summer to succeed Carlo Ancelotti, faces significant challenges after two consecutive losses. Another defeat tomorrow against Alavés could mark the end of his tenure with the Merengues.

In recent days, several names have emerged in the Spanish media as potential replacements for Alonso, with Álvaro Arbeloa frequently mentioned. The former teammate of Alonso at Liverpool and Real Madrid has been making a good impression while coaching Castilla. When asked in a press conference about Arbeloa’s potential future as the head coach of Real, Alonso responded calmly: “Álvaro could become a coach in the future. He is doing very well.”
