It's true. He won the league but was stills sacked after season 06/07

Good, but with Arsenal still in good form, no more UCL for Madrid. I just wish Arsenal can always stay longer in UCL to pluck RM out and then follow them out in the next game as we just saw it unfolded this season. cheesy
If you think Arsenal won Madrid because they were very good then you're a dreamer and don't know how to analyse football. Arsenal won because they faced a very terribly poor Madrid side who have been terrible all season. You can see how PSG took Arsenal to the cleaners. You can also see how Arsenal bottled up the league. Like this was the best chance to win the EPL yet they still bleeped up. I've always said it, if Arsenal want to move higher they need to sack Arteta and overhaul their mediocre players. To me the only stars they have are Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli and the goal keeper Raya. All the others are big flops

Madrid that fired Fabio Capello, NOT because he did not win the Champions League, but because he did not win in IN STYLE grin
Capello never won champions league with Madrid please. Get your facts right. I however agree with the part that he was sacked because his style of football was largely unappealing

He never won CL and he wasn't sacked for his style but instead for his selections

I would have loved to see him coach Liverpool.

what I read back then was that jupp heynckes who was like Madrid third manager in 97 / 98 season was relieved of his job because he didn't win the league even though he salvaged a turbulent Madrid ship midway to win the season's UCL . Such scenario would also repeat in 2002/03 season with dell bosque getting the sack after winning the league . Their reason for sacking him ? He failed to retain the UCL they won a season prior! Weird old men, those Madrid board and president.

Not many coaches have luck with big clubs. Some coaches do well with unknown young players not super stars. I hope Alonso succeeds

Only those who are not capable to handle pressure talk like this. At Madrid, you’ll have almost everything needed and you just try to apply your ideas to deliver. If you don’t, you’ll move on to another team who trust you

Whatever it is, Arsenal will Sha win Madrid. Even back in the days of the All Stars of Madrid, Arsenal still dealt with them. So on that, I give it to Arsenal to always uproot Madrid if they meet.

Real Madrid and Chelsea are the most impatient clubs in the world when it comes to coach turnovers.
Impatience has really worked for Real Madrid. Perez runs it like a very serious business. Zero room for experiment. It's the reason they don't experience trophy drought like some big clubs in Europe. How can you keep a coach in a supposedly big club without a major trophy beyond two seasons?

Patience here and there is how people become accustomed to mediocrity and failure. grin

Wirtz and his Dad/agent prefers a move to Bayern. Expect to see Wirtz in Bayern next season according to Fabrizio.

Good luck to him, and good luck to Ancellotti and Brazil...!

I hope it's a good step for the young man's managerial career.

If he flops here, it will be painful and almost impossible to get another top job.

Zidane was once in these shoes, and went on to win 3 consecutive UCL titles, which has since permanently stamped him as an Elite manager.

Julen Lopetegui wasn't so lucky.

But will this his 3-4-3 formation fit Real Madrid?
Re: Xabi Alonso Leaves Bayern Leverkuson To Join Real Madrid by ibrahimawelo12(m): 11:02pm On May 09, 2025
I think he make a decision best known to him.

Has Xabi Alonso reached to coach a club like real Madrid? I pray he succeeds like Zidane.

Stop calling him Mugu. He made his choice. Pep spoke wit him at length on the fone but his Dad/agent prefers Bayern.

As for ur question. Wirtz will fit in, remember Muller is gone. Wirtz could play alongside Musiala, or Musiala could take up the wing position to accommodate Wirtz. Musiala is very dangerous playing from the wing. Wirtz will comfortably walk into the first team of any top club in football.
