Operational Update: Real Madrid Coaching Changes

Real Madrid has announced the departure of Xabi Alonso from his position as head coach by mutual consent. Alvaro Arbeloa, previously the coach of the club’s reserve team, Castilla, has been appointed as his replacement.

Xabi Alonso, who commenced his tenure last summer, has concluded his role following a recent defeat in the Supercopa de Espana final against Barcelona. Alonso, a former midfielder for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2014, took over the head coach role after a successful period at Bayer Leverkusen.

Alonso's departure follows a mixed performance in the season, including a strong start with 10 wins in the first 11 La Liga games, but subsequent challenges towards the end of 2025. The club is currently positioned second in the domestic standings and has secured four wins in six UEFA Champions League games under Alonso's leadership.

Alvaro Arbeloa, aged 42, will assume the role of head coach. Arbeloa, a former right-back, has accumulated 238 appearances for Real Madrid over seven years. His first match as head coach will be against Albacete in the Copa del Rey last-16 contest on Wednesday.

Real Madrid extends gratitude to Xabi Alonso and his coaching staff for their contributions and wishes them success in their future endeavors.
