The head coach of the Madrid club "Real," Xabi Alonso, has decided to resign after eight months of work, as reported by the BBC.
He has been replaced by Álvaro Arbeloa, who is 42 years old and with whom Alonso had the opportunity to play both for the Spanish national team and at "Liverpool" in England.
On January 11, the "Real" team suffered a defeat to "Barcelona" in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. Currently, the team is in second place in the championship, trailing "Barça" by four points.
Xabi Alonso spent five seasons at "Real" as a player. In 2024, he led Bayer Leverkusen to the championship in Germany, and then, last year, became the head coach of "Real," succeeding the renowned Carlo Ancelotti.
