If Real Madrid decides to let go of Xabi Alonso, who is anticipated to be fired if the Spanish powerhouses lose to Manchester City in the Champions League, they are reportedly prepared to make a closer-to-home appointment. However, the Bernabeu manager is not solely to blame in a scathing indictment of the players.
According to rumours in Spain, a loss against former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola on Wednesday would be awful for Alonso, since Real Madrid has had a terrible month. The announcement coincides with rumours that the former head coach of Bayer Leverkusen and his team are not getting along.
Numerous people, including Jurgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane, have been mentioned as possible alternatives for Alonso as his position appears to be becoming more and more vulnerable.
But according to The Athletic, Alvaro Arbeloa, a former Real Madrid and Liverpool defender, may end up in charge. After his playing career ended in 2017, Arbeloa joined Real Madrid as a youngster and has since had a number of coaching positions there.
Real Madrid target surprise appointment with Alonso
Although the players’ list of grievances appears trivial, these superstars are accustomed to being in charge. They ensure that everyone is aware of it while they are not. Travelling the day before to an away game?
For them, no. A daily speech by the management before training? dulling. Perhaps Florentino Perez’s willingness to support his Galacticos above the manager is Alonso’s biggest issue. After all, the easiest person to replace is the man in the dugout.
However, the simplest choices aren’t always the best ones. Examine PSG’s development following Kylian Mbappe’s departure. Real Madrid still believes they need their stars, even if what Luis Enrique has accomplished at Parc des Princes may serve as a model for other teams.
As a result, Alonso’s job is in jeopardy, and there’s a feeling that if he wants to lead Real Madrid until 2026, his team must perform flawlessly in the upcoming weeks.
