It's a sacking new year for most of the football clubs in Europe.
Sacking of Xabi will bring division to R/M players as some are for him while some like Vini et al are against him and this will go on unless their is quick intervention of the board.

Xabi should have first go to United where testing is allowed not Madrid where result is more important than testing.

Chelsea, Madrid and Man United who else is joining the league this week
Liverpool should join and appoint Alonso, he never walk alone

In ReaL Madrid, losing a trophy can be forgiven but losing against BARCA is unforgivable, however losing against BARCELONA in a finals is irredeemably unforgiving

The guy that won the German League with Granit Xhaka and Victor Boniface no sabi work?










Are you jokin.g?











Don't blame the coach, blame the players!











Na so Madrid pursue, Carlo Ancellotti, Mourinho, Zidane left, now Alonso!










My own fif.ty kobo for them is to sell that Mb.appe, even PSG had to let him go before clinching Champions League. Or they can keep taking second and losing in quarter finals and semis to Arsenal and Barcelon.a








Up Gunners!

Only Carlo Ancellotti can make Madrid perform. They should beg him to make another comeback. Any other coach they hire will still struggle.
Carlo and zidane

I pick zidane anyday anytime

December/January always involve sacking of coach.

Man U has sacked 3 coaches in December/January

Ole, Mourinho, Amorim, maybe more.

Every coach has August to December to prove himself. December/january your performance will be reviewed for the first quarter of the season. You may face the axe

I felt they were highly unfair to Alonso, very very unfair and unjust, the guy didn't get his fair chances as done to everyother coach to prove himself, and I really like the guy

Any big team that remain d same after playing barca should be given award.

They should have sacked him earlier so Chelsea can retain him..

Zidane was an amateur when he took over from Benitez and he led Madrid to 3 successive UCL titles. Pep Guardiola was an amateur when he took over from Frank rikjards at Barca. But he led that same Barca team to historic treble, even after he dismissed Samuel Eto'o and built the team around Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. The thing is, Spanish clubs love to recruit from their ranks because these coaches understand their philosophy and style of play and know the players well. Zidane was Madrid's second team coach before taking over. Same for Pep. The list is endless.
You have said it all,Alonso only played at Real Madrid,but the Madrid process is not embedded in him,Both Zidane and Arbeloa are Madrid through and through,Arbeloa and Zidane,Raul inclusive,moulded the bunch of young players coming up in ranks at Real Madrid,even the recalled sacked fitness coach,Pintus,would have done a better job than Alonso.

At least in Alonso, you see a pattern of play and urgency. He was just unlucky that Madrid is filled with egotistical players and only people like Ancelotti has the man management skills to handle them.

Very lazy left back, abi na right back em dey play dat year. No pace. No accurate vision.

Very lazy right back? For real?? And he played for my beloved team, Liverpool, and later got signed by Madridhuh

Bro, make we no lie for ourselves: if he was not good as a player Madrid wouldn't have signed him.

An important player of the squad that year for Madrid. Dey play.

When he left, Liverpool struggled defensively, before we then got Glenn Johnson who was now able to fill his shoes.

Arbeloa and Alonso are more Real than Liverpool legends.

If you are a Club Legend, never take the Coaching job. It doesn't always end well.
Your assertion is not true.

Pep, Enrique, Xavi, Ancelotti, Someone etc prove you wrong.

That guy was too slow in the pitch.

I doubt that he will be heavily involved in goal-scoring opportunities sef.

Carvajal was far better than him.

Madrid never regrets sacking an underperforming coach. They rather become much better. Go and ask Rafa Benitez whom Zidane took over from and led Madrid to 3 successive champions league trophy. Or ask Julen lopetegui who Zidane took over from and led Madrid to Spanish league titles and cups. Madrid has zero tolerance for underperformance and that's why that club has performed greatly well over the years. Alonso really lowered that standard. In fact I'm surprised he's been sacked now. He should have been sacked long ago
how do they settle this coaches after sack
