To succeed Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid have chosen an internal solution by appointing Álvaro Arbeloa. The former defender, until now in charge of Castilla, immediately wanted to spark a fresh start, stressing the renewed motivation and enthusiasm of the squad ahead of the next match against Albacete.
The breath of fresh air brought by the new coach has already been widely praised. The Spanish press, via El Chiringuito, confirms that Álvaro Arbeloa made a strong first impression, clearly scoring points on his very first day in charge of the first team.
A Training Session That Brought Back Old Memories
According to sources from Valdebebas, his first training session was intense and fast-paced, reminding players of the sessions under Ancelotti and Zidane, with plenty of balls, competition, and close interaction with the squad.
Journalist Edu Aguirre reported that players said it felt like the training under Ancelotti and Zidane, with lots of intensity and short exercises, and a remarkable closeness from a coach who knows the club inside out. Arbeloa has created a positive atmosphere and convinced from the outset, even if these good impressions still need to be confirmed in matches, especially as Real Madrid are already targeting big-name coaches for next season, with Jürgen Klopp in mind.
