Xabi Alonso, the 44-year-old coach of Real Madrid, was dismissed by the club's management less than 24 hours after the defeat in the Supercopa de España final against rivals Barcelona. Although the club communicated that the termination of the contract was amicable, the Spanish press, including Marca and AS, emphasized that the decision was made by president Florentino Perez at an unexpected moment. Alonso had a short career of 232 days at Real Madrid, during which he led the team in 34 matches, fulfilling only 20% of his contract, which extended until 2028. Poor results and the perception that the team was not functioning, even with a positive attitude, led to this decision. Álvaro Arbeloa will take over the team's leadership following Alonso's dismissal.
