OFFICIAL/ Real Madrid sack Xabi Alonso after Super Cup defeat

Xabi Alonso is no longer the coach of Real Madrid. The club announced a day after the defeat in the Spanish Super Cup that the Spaniard was no longer in charge of the team, paving the way for another solution for the Madrid team, who are finding themselves far from the expectations they had when they approached the technician from Leverkusen.

Alonso lasted just 232 days and 34 matches on the Real Madrid bench, in a period where the coach rarely seemed up to par or had the full support of the club. His constant and public clashes with the players made him pay for the Madrid team's troubled season so far.

Real Madrid announces that, by mutual agreement between the club and Xabi Alonso, it has been decided to end his period as coach of the first team. Xabi Alonso will always have the love and admiration of all Madrid fans because he is a legend of Real Madrid and has always represented the values ​​of our club. Real Madrid will always be his home.

Our club thanks Xabi Alonso and his entire coaching staff for their work and dedication during this time and wishes them good luck in this new chapter of their lives.
