Xabi Alonso leaves Real Madrid after only seven months as head coach
- On Monday, Real Madrid C. F. announced it ended Xabi Alonso's time as first-team coach by mutual agreement after seven months at Santiago Bernabeu and promoted Alvaro Arbeloa as successor.
- Inside the club, doubts grew about Xabi Alonso's connection with the dressing room and players' physical preparation after the team won just three of its last nine matches, and patience ran out last Thursday.
- Xabi Alonso arrived with a strong pedigree, having played 236 times for Real Madrid and achieving seventeen wins in 20 matches early this season.
- Sportingly, Real Madrid sit second in La Liga, four points behind Barcelona, while Alonso leaves after just 18 per cent of the contract completed, with the club still active in Copa del Rey and Champions League.
- Given his Leverkusen success ending Bayern's 11-title run and a 54-match unbeaten streak, Alonso will be linked with Liverpool after their November 4 win at Anfield and the $150 million Club World Cup.
