Xabi Alonso Departed from Spanish Giants

The prominent Spanish club has mutually agreed to part ways with Xabi Alonso following an unsatisfactory beginning to his tenure.

Transition of Leadership

Alonso’s previous teammate, Alvaro Arbeloa, has assumed the managerial position. Unfortunately, his first match did not unfold as hoped, resulting in a loss against LaLiga 2 team Albacete.

Players’ Reactions

After the match, veteran defender Carvajal, aged 34, voiced his concerns candidly. He stated, “We’ve reached a significant low point.”

He continued, “We must confront the reality of our situation, especially in defeat, and that’s imperative for us now. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with us, the players.”

Carvajal added, “We’ve suffered elimination at the hands of a Segunda División side, and I extend my congratulations to them. Starting tomorrow, we need to engage in serious self-reflection, both as individuals and as a team.”
