The question of the head coach position at Madrid’s Real Madrid has once again come to the forefront. Should Xabi Alonso leave the team, Alvaro Arbeloa is being cited as the leading candidate to take his place.
According to ESPN, Alonso's future with the "Royal Club" remains uncertain. Sources suggest that the upcoming Spanish Super Cup could be one of the decisive tests of the season for the coach. The outcomes of this tournament could significantly influence Alonso's fate at the club.
Internal sources at the club have reportedly begun discussing possible replacement options. They view Alvaro Arbeloa as the most realistic candidate. Currently, Arbeloa is the head coach of Real Madrid's second team, "Castilla," where he has been delivering positive results while working with the younger players.
Arbeloa is considered an expert who knows the club's system inside out. As a former Real Madrid player, he is not only well-versed in the club’s traditions and standards but also familiar with the high-pressure environment, earning the trust of the management.
For context, Real Madrid is currently in second place in La Liga's standings with 42 points after 18 matches. The team faces another critical challenge ahead, as they prepare to take on Atletico Madrid in the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup.
In short, the upcoming weeks may prove decisive for Real Madrid, not only in terms of trophies but also for the future of their coaching staff. Arbeloa’s name is increasingly becoming a serious part of the conversation.
