MADRID (AP) --- Real Madrid replaced coach Xabi Alonso with B team manager
Alvaro Arbeloa on Monday.
Madrid said in a statement that Alonso left by mutual agreement.
The announcement came a day after Madrid lost to Barcelona 3-2 in the final of
the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
"Real Madrid wishes to announce that, by mutual agreement between the club and
Xabi Alonso, it has been decided to bring his time as first team coach to an
end," Madrid said. "Xabi Alonso will always carry the affection and admiration
of all Madridistas because he is a Real Madrid legend and has always
represented the values of our club. Real Madrid will always be his home."
The club thanked Alonso and his coaching staff for "their hard work and
dedication throughout this time and wish them the best of luck in this new
stage of their lives."
Like Alonso, Arbeloa is a former player of the Spanish powerhouse.
