Real have officially confirmed the departure of head coach Xabi Alonso following a mutual agreement between both parties, in the wake of the club’s Super Cup final loss to rivals Barcelona.
The decision came after internal discussions between the club’s hierarchy and the coach, with both sides concluding that it was the appropriate time to part ways. The defeat to Barcelona in the Super Cup final ultimately marked Alonso’s final match in charge.
In a brief statement, the club expressed appreciation for Alonso’s professionalism, dedication, and contributions during his tenure, while wishing him success in his future coaching career.
Alonso, in turn, thanked the players, technical staff, and supporters, describing his spell at the club as an important and valuable chapter in his managerial journey.
Real is expected to announce either an interim coach or a permanent replacement in the coming days as they continue preparations for the remainder of the season.
