Alvaro Arbeloa, who has been coach of Real Madrid's B team since June 2025 - and also spent the last six years working with the academy - has been named as Alonso's replacement. Real announced Alonso's departure just a day after the club's defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia. #SkySportsNews #SkySports #realmadrid ► For the latest developments on this story: https://qrcode.skysports.com/skysports/topstories ► For the latest transfer news: https://qrcode.skysports.com/skysports/TransferCentre More from Sky Sports on YouTube: ► Sky Sports: http://bit.ly/SkySportsSub ► Sky Sports Boxing: http://bit.ly/SSBoxingSub ► Sky Sports Cricket: http://bit.ly/SubscribeSkyCricket ► Sky Sports Darts: https://bit.ly/SubSkySportsDarts ► Sky Sports Football: http://bit.ly/SSFootballSub ► Sky Sports F1: http://bit.ly/SubscribeSkyF1 ► Sky Sports Golf: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsGolf ► Sky Sports Premier League: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsPL ► Sky Sports Retro: http://bit.ly/SkySportsRetroSub ► Sky Sports WSL: https://bit.ly/SubscribeSkySportsWSL ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skysportsnews ► X: https://x.com/SkySportsNews ► Website: https://www.skysports.com ► To enquire about licensing Sky Sports content, you can find out more here: https://www.skysports.com/more-sports/news/31754/11434270/license-sky-sports-footage

Arne looking over his shoulder a lot more now 😂😂😂
He should had never left Leverkusen for Madrid
Give the man at least a season.
2026 will be a year of managers leaving clubs😂😂😂
Imagine RM appointment Amorim 😅
Football has absolutely gone bonkers!
I really enjoyed the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona. What a thriller
Before Thomas frank is criminal
He shouldve at least stayed for a season
Not even a full season from Xabi and he was doing a great job.
Xabi Alonso’s reign is similar to Rafa Benitez’s reign at Real Madrid 10 years ago. Both were at liverpool, both of them were gone by January, and both of them left after 7 months in charge.
Damn, that’s ruthless. 2nd in la liga and still in the champions league, yet they still sacked him.
Sacked or mutual agreement? 🤔 Which is it? 😂
Amorin to Madrid here we go
Win rate of about 70% and still got sacked. The hell do they want.... some jobs are hard damn!
Thank you Slot for your service we have a replacement
Shocking behaviour from Madrid
I guess it was coming but still bit of a shock. Madrid are 2nd and have been hit by injuries
This decision is wrong! He should have finished the season.
He left by his own intiative and giving the current situation I do not blame him for doing so with all these players and their big 'egos'. He was not sacked!!!
