Turkish star Arda Güler, a player for Real Madrid, sent a heartfelt farewell message to his former coach Xabi Alonso on his Instagram account, following the announcement of Alonso's dismissal from managing Real Madrid.

Güler wrote on his Instagram account: "Mr. Xabi Alonso, thank you for believing in me and trusting me from day one. Every conversation, every detail, and every request helped shape my performance and pushed me to a higher level. I am truly grateful for everything you have contributed to my career. Your trust in me made me a better player."

The player added: "I wish you and your coaching team all the best and success in the next phase. Your impact will always remain with me."

Alonso was dismissed from his position as Real Madrid's coach just 24 hours after losing the Spanish Super Cup to Barcelona 3-2.
