Real Madrid Appoints Álvaro Arbeloa as Head Coach After Xabi Alonso Exit

Real Madrid has named Álvaro Arbeloa as the new head coach, replacing Xabi Alonso who left after a 3-2 loss to Barcelona. Arbeloa, a former player for the club, has previously worked with the youth system and led the Castilla team.

The decision to appoint Arbeloa comes after a string of inconsistent performances under Alonso's leadership. Arbeloa will lead the team in their upcoming Copa del Rey match against Albacete.
