Xabi Alonso is walking a tightrope at Real Madrid. Weakened by a run of poor results, the Madrid coach is playing for his future match by match. Despite a hard-fought win that gives him a brief reprieve, the club’s hierarchy is already preparing for a possible dismissal before the Spanish Super Cup.
For several days now, Xabi Alonso has been in serious danger. Despite public statements of support from some players, the coach remains on the hot seat. One defeat could be enough to seal his fate.
Real Madrid Prepares a Quiet Internal Alternative
Behind the scenes, a plan B is ready: no Zidane, no Raul, no Klopp. Real Madrid is betting on a discreet internal solution, Álvaro Arbeloa. The current Castilla coach is the number one option in the event of another slip-up, particularly against Alavés. With just two wins in the last eight matches, the verdict could come quickly.
Xabi Alonso has no choice left, he must win. Ironically, Alonso and Arbeloa are close friends, but in Madrid only results matter. For his part, Arbeloa firmly denies any approach and publicly backs Alonso, while insisting he remains focused on Castilla. The suspense is total… but the axe has never been so close.
