Real Madrid Club announced today the appointment of Álvaro Arbeloa as the new head coach of the first team, succeeding coach Xabi Alonso, who was dismissed from his position following the loss in the Super Clásico.

The administration's decision comes as part of its efforts to maintain technical stability, as Arbeloa is a club product and has previously worked within Real Madrid's youth system, granting him a deep understanding of the team's culture and requirements.

The club affirmed in its statement its confidence in Arbeloa's ability to lead the team in the upcoming phase, relying on his leadership personality and experience within the walls of Santiago Bernabéu, both as a former player and as a promising coach.

Arbeloa is expected to officially start his duties immediately, preparing for the upcoming domestic and continental challenges, amid great fan anticipation for what he will deliver with the first team.
