Real Madrid has officially announced the departure of head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, confirming what had been widely expected. Arbeloa's tenure, which began in January after the dismissal of Xabi Alonso, concluded without any silverware for the Spanish giants.

During his five months in charge, Arbeloa managed 28 matches, achieving 18 victories. However, the team finished second in La Liga, six points behind rivals Barcelona, and were eliminated from the Copa del Rey by second-division side Albacete. Their Champions League campaign ended in the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid is deeply grateful to Álvaro Arbeloa, who throughout his career at the club, right from the time he joined our academy, has always shown loyalty, commitment, and professionalism.
