Real Madrid Players Frustrated with Manager Arbeloa

Real Madrid players are expressing anger towards their current manager, Alvaro Arbeloa, due to his alleged failure to provide adequate playing time to Spanish players within the squad. Arbeloa has been in charge for six months following Xabi Alonso's resignation as head coach, but his tenure has not yielded the expected results, with Real Madrid currently trailing Barcelona by eleven points in LaLiga and having been eliminated from both the Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League.

Reports indicate that several players feel Arbeloa favors star players regardless of their on-field performance, leading to a strained relationship within the squad. With only five league matches remaining, players are concerned about their opportunities to play.

Furthermore, there are indications that Arbeloa may not remain as coach next season, as Real Madrid is reportedly seeking a new manager, with Jose Mourinho, currently at Benfica, being strongly linked to a return. However, Mourinho has stated that he has not yet been contacted by Real Madrid regarding a potential contract.
