Real Madrid faces managerial overhaul after Champions League elimination

Thursday, 16 April 2026, 16:01 · 1 min read

Real Madrid's interim coach Álvaro Arbeloa is expected to lose his job as the club braces for a major overhaul following their 6-4 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals — a result that leaves them facing a second trophyless season for the first time since 2009-10. Arbeloa, who replaced Xabi Alonso after he was sacked in January, has overseen just 13 wins in 21 matches and saw his side knocked out of the Copa del Rey by second-tier Albacete in his opening game. Leading candidates to take permanent charge include former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and ex-Real boss Zinedine Zidane, though Real president Florentino Pérez (known for demanding results and swift accountability at the Bernabéu) has yet to signal who will lead the anticipated rebuilding effort.
