Spanish giants Real Madrid are reportedly planning a major managerial change as the club looks to rebuild stability after a difficult period following the departure of Xabi Alonso.
The Spanish side decided to sack Alonso a few months ago after a disappointing run of results. Despite high expectations, the former midfielder struggled to keep the team consistent in key competitions. His exit left Madrid searching for a quick solution to steady the squad.
After Alonso’s departure, former defender Álvaro Arbeloa was given the responsibility of managing the team. However, the transition has not gone as smoothly as hoped. Arbeloa has reportedly found it difficult to control the dressing room and guide the team to strong performances. As a result, Madrid’s form has remained inconsistent.
With uncertainty continuing around the team, club president Florentino Pérez is believed to be considering the appointment of a highly experienced manager. Reports suggest the club wants a coach with a proven track record who can manage big personalities and bring tactical discipline back to the squad.
According to reports, the club has already identified a well-known European coach as a potential candidate for the role. The manager has a reputation for building strong defensive systems and handling high-pressure matches, qualities Madrid believe could help stabilize the team.
