Spanish manager Xabi Alonso is facing a challenging period at Real Madrid following a series of controversial events at the club ⚽.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Alonso was not Florentino Pérez’s first choice to replace Carlo Ancelotti. He got the job after former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp declined. Pérez reportedly doubts Alonso’s control over the locker room, especially after Alonso chose not to punish Vinicius following the substitution incident in the recent El Clasico.
Alonso’s situation has become tense after the 0-1 defeat against Liverpool in the fourth group stage match of the UEFA Champions League, despite Real Madrid topping La Liga with 30 points, five ahead of second-placed Barcelona, after ten wins and a single loss 🏆.
Real Madrid will face a tough away match against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday in the 12th round of La Liga, a fixture that could influence Alonso’s future at the club.
