Real Madrid has begun preparations for an anticipated change at the coaching level, amid increasing conviction within the club that Álvaro Arbeloa's stint on the bench will not last long, according to the 'Fichajes' website.

The same source explained that the loss to Benfica 4-2 in the last round of the Champions League group stage, which caused Real Madrid to exit the top 8 list despite relying on themselves, hastened the opening of the coach's future file, especially after the unconvincing image the team presented in Europe.

The website pointed out that the club's management sees Arbeloa as a temporary solution to contain the phase, but he has not succeeded in giving the team a clear identity, amid defensive struggles and a lack of effectiveness and ability to compete in major matches.

According to the source, Unai Emery is one of the most prominent names strongly proposed on Real Madrid's table to take over the task starting next season, given his European experience and his stint with major clubs.

The report confirmed that the work Emery is doing with Aston Villa, along with his previous experience with Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, makes him a profile appreciated within the corridors of the royal club, amid the search for a coach with high tactical ability who excels in managing teams in tough competitive stages.

The report indicated that the future of the coaching seat at Real Madrid has become a serious discussion topic, with the season's end approaching, while Unai Emery continues to progress as a realistic option to lead the next phase.
