Alvaro Arbeloa Emerges as Top Contender to Replace Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid

The head coach of Real Madrid’s youth team, Álvaro Arbeloa, is reportedly the leading candidate to replace Xabi Alonso, according to ESPN.

Sources indicate that the Madrid club considered entering the winter transfer market to address personnel issues. However, the management of the «whites» deems January signings unlikely. The Spanish Supercup could be a pivotal moment for Real Madrid this season, as Alonso’s future remains uncertain, with Arbeloa being identified as the top contender for a potential replacement at the club.

Currently, Real Madrid holds second place in the La Liga standings with 42 points, trailing the leaders, Barcelona, by four points.

In the semifinals of the Supercup, Real Madrid will face Atlético. The match is scheduled for January 8.
