Who is Alvaro Arbeloa, Real Madrid's new coach who has replaced Xabi Alonso? |Sports Today

Real Madrid have appointed former defender Alvaro Arbeloa as their new head coach after Xabi Alonso stepped down from the role on Monday. Alonso’s exit comes just seven months into his tenure and a day after Madrid lost 3-2 to arch-rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah. The club said in an official statement that the decision to part ways with Alonso was taken by mutual agreement. Real Madrid thanked the former midfielder for his work and said he would always be remembered as a club legend. Alonso had taken over as head coach in May last year after Carlo Ancelotti left to take charge of the Brazil national team. However, his short stint ended after a difficult start to the season and the recent defeat in the Super Cup. Soon after Alonso’s departure, Real Madrid announced Arbeloa as his replacement. The former right-back had been coaching the club’s B team, Castilla, since June last year and has also worked extensively within Madrid’s youth academy. The upcoming Copa del Rey match against Albacete on Wednesday will be Arbeloa’s first game in charge of the senior team. Arbeloa is no stranger to Real Madrid. He joined the club’s Castilla academy in 2001 at the age of 18 after starting his football journey at Zaragoza. He made his senior debut for Madrid in 2004 but featured in only four matches before moving to Deportivo La Coruna, a second-tier Spanish team. #AlvaroArbeloa #RealMadrid #RealMadridCoach #XabiAlonso #LaLiga #FootballNews #SpanishFootball #RealMadridCF #Madridista #FootballUpdates #NewCoach #ClubLegend #EuropeanFootball #SoccerNews We talk sport 24x7, 365 days a year.
