According to The Athletic, Alvaro Arbeloa, a former defensive player for Real Madrid, is being considered as a potential replacement for Xabi Alonso, whose dismissal from the team may happen soon.
Sources claim that Arbeloa is one of the main contenders for the position. He currently serves as the head coach of Real Madrid's youth team.
Xabi Alonso's departure may happen if the team suffers a defeat against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. Previously, the names of Jurgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane were also mentioned in the press as candidates for the position.
Real Madrid sit in second place in the Spanish championship, having accumulated 36 points. In the UEFA Champions League, the Madrid club is in fifth position in the standings with 12 points.
