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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"1215\">After Alonso\u2019s departure, former defender <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">\u00c1lvaro Arbeloa<\/span><\/span> 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\u2019s form has remained inconsistent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1541\">With uncertainty continuing around the team, club president <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Florentino P\u00e9rez<\/span><\/span> 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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1822\">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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish giants Real Madrid are reportedly planning a major managerial change as the club looks to rebuild stability after a\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":37733,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4651],"tags":[4517,3686,1823,2327,3796,3919,2109,2031,3805,4521,266,2554],"class_list":["post-44690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-la-liga","tag-alvaro-arbeloa","tag-david-ornstein","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-florentino-perez","tag-football","tag-la-liga","tag-madrid","tag-manager","tag-max-allegri","tag-new-manager","tag-real-madrid","tag-vinicius-jr"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44690"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44690\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44691,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44690\/revisions\/44691"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
