Real Madrid Part Ways with Alonso, Appoint Arbeloa

Real Madrid has opted to part ways with manager Xabi Alonso midway through the season, appointing Alvaro Arbeloa as his successor. During his tenure, Alonso achieved 24 victories in 34 matches with Los Blancos; however, his dismissal comes as little surprise given the ongoing concerns regarding team dynamics and the discontent expressed by supporters, who have frequently booed the team this season.

Reports suggest that Alonso faced internal strife, including a disagreement with star striker Kylian Mbappe concerning tactical decisions prior to the team’s recent defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. Additionally, Alonso had a contentious exchange with club president Florentino Perez, which further exacerbated the situation leading to his departure, as noted by BBC Sport.

In response to rumors suggesting a lack of support from players, Jude Bellingham took to his social media platform to clarify his stance. He stated, “Until now, I’ve let far too many of these slide, always hoping the truth will come to light in its own time. But honestly… What a load of nonsense. I truly feel sorry for those who cling to every word from these so-called sources. Do not believe everything you read; sometimes these individuals need to be held accountable for spreading damaging misinformation for clicks and added controversy.”
