Losing to City, Real Madrid makes decision on coach Alonso

The crisis at Real Madrid has deepened after the 1-2 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu against Manchester City, a result that has confirmed the team's significant decline in recent weeks.

According to Spanish media, Xabi Alonso is at a very critical moment in his stay at Real Madrid. Negative results have put him under great pressure, as the team has managed only two wins in its last eight matches and has suffered four defeats in its last five La Liga matches.

This balance has worried the leaders, who have set a clear ultimatum. The next challenge on the transfer to Alaves is considered decisive for the future of the Spanish coach. If Real Madrid fails to get the victory, the dismissal of Xabi Alonso could be decided before Christmas.

Zinedine Zidane's presence in the stadium against City further fueled speculation about Alonso's departure.

However, despite his presence at the stadium, Zidane is not seen as a real alternative at the moment. Florentino Perez is aware of the Frenchman's objective, who has decided to wait to take charge of the French national team after the 2026 World Cup. This makes a return to the Madrid bench impossible at this stage of the season.

For this reason, Real Madrid has begun to prepare internal solutions in case they decide to end their collaboration with Alonso. The most likely name is Alvaro Arbeloa, the current youth coach and a well-known figure within the club, who is considered ready to take over the first team immediately. Santiago Solari also remains on the list, who could serve as interim coach, as has happened in previous periods.

Real Madrid is thus at a delicate moment in the season, where poor results and question marks over the bench require quick decisions to avoid further losses in sporting and organizational terms.
