Why was Alonso sacked by Real Madrid, and who’s their new manager Arbeloa?
A Supercopa final loss to Barcelona proves the final nail in the coffin and ends the Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid.
The sacking of Xavi Alonso as the manager of Real Madrid has not come as a surprise, not least for Madridistas, the fans of the Spanish football giants.
The club announced on Monday that Alonso had left his role “by mutual consent”, with Alvaro Arbeloa promoted from coaching the club’s reserve team to replace him.
Alonso, 44, lasted less than a year into the three-year contract he signed last summer to replace Carlo Ancelotti.
While the club announced his exit after he had just seven months in charge of the star-studded team, fans and local football experts could foresee this outcome.
