Shocked Football World Reacts to Xabi Alonso Getting Sacked as Real Madrid Manager

The football world was left stunned as Real Madrid officially parted ways with manager Xabi Alonso, just one day after their Super Cup defeat to FC Barcelona in Saudi Arabia.

Despite arriving with huge expectations after an unbeaten Bundesliga title with Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso’s tenure at the Bernabéu lasted less than a year. Reports suggest growing tensions with the board and difficulties managing a star-studded dressing room ultimately sealed his fate.

Real Madrid described the exit as a “mutual agreement,” but major European outlets labelled it a de facto dismissal. According to reports, friction over tactics and authority — particularly involving high-profile players such as Kylian Mbappé — intensified following the Super Cup loss.

President Florentino Pérez is said to have never been fully convinced by Alonso’s methods, and the club acted swiftly to avoid further instability. With Madrid trailing Barcelona by four points in La Liga, the board opted for immediate change.

Club legend Álvaro Arbeloa has been appointed as the new permanent manager, marking a dramatic turn in Real Madrid’s season. Meanwhile, speculation is already mounting about Alonso’s next destination, with several top European clubs monitoring his availability.
