Journalist Ido Aguirre revealed that the Real Madrid locker room is in a state of shock following the club management's decision to dismiss Xabi Alonso from his position as head coach of the first team.

According to Aguirre, even Xabi Alonso himself did not expect the dismissal decision, as it came as a surprise to everyone within the team, including both the players and the coaching staff, given the prior belief that he would continue in the upcoming phase.

This development comes at a critical point in the season, posing a significant challenge for the management and the new coaching staff to restore balance and stability within the locker room, and to regain the team's focus ahead of the upcoming commitments.

The decision to dismiss Alonso came just 24 hours after losing the Clasico against Barcelona 3-2.

It is worth noting that several stars within Real Madrid were not satisfied with the style of the Spanish coach, chief among them Federico Valverde and Vinícius Júnior, in addition to the team's inconsistent performance in recent times.
