“He was the reason i was sacked, “It’s IMPOSSIBLE for a coach to rule in a dressing room if the club is always on his Side”-Former Madrid Coach Xabi Alonso names TWO players that Got him Sacked

Sources within Xabi Alonso’s inner circle have confirmed that the Spaniard was dismissed from his position rather than resigning voluntarily. Due to a specific clause in his contract, Real Madrid will only be obligated to pay him for the first year of what was originally a three-year agreement.

The pivotal moment in Alonso’s brief tenure came with the crushing 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid, a result that irreparably fractured his relationship with the club hierarchy. His authority in the dressing room had been steadily eroding, with several key players growing increasingly skeptical of his tactical approach, substitution patterns, and team selection decisions, according to reports from COPE.

In a revealing conversation with club officials reported by La SER, Alonso didn’t mince words about what he saw as a fundamental problem: “You can’t give the players this much power. It’s impossible for a coach to maintain control when the club consistently backs the squad over their manager.”

Diario AS adds another layer to the story, revealing that Alonso had repeatedly warned the club about a glaring deficiency in the squad. He believed the team desperately needed a commanding midfield presence like Toni Kroos, frankly admitting that the legendary German’s departure had created an irreplaceable void at the heart of the team.

Despite the disappointing end to his Real Madrid chapter, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Alonso remains philosophical about his future. While understandably saddened by recent events, he’s already looking ahead to his next challenge. His reputation across Europe remains intact, with top clubs continuing to view him as one of the most exciting young managers in world football.

The final act unfolded swiftly after Real Madrid’s heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday. The defeat marked an embarrassing hat-trick of final losses to their eternal rivals, and the dejected squad touched down in Madrid in the early hours of Monday morning.

Just hours after their arrival, according to AS, a crucial meeting took place at the club’s Valdebebas training complex. Alonso sat down with senior management, and his weariness was palpable—months of relentless criticism following a string of disappointing results had clearly taken their toll.

The club didn’t hold back in expressing their serious reservations about Alonso’s project. The evidence was damning: since taking the reins in June, Real Madrid had fallen to virtually every top team they faced—Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, and now Barcelona. While it would be unfair to lay all the blame at Alonso’s feet, the meeting concluded with the difficult decision to part ways.

Real Madrid swiftly released an official statement confirming the managerial change and announced that Álvaro Arbeloa would step into what many consider the most demanding coaching position in football—despite never having managed a single top-flight match.

While whispers about Alonso’s precarious position had been circulating for weeks, particularly after failure to secure the Spanish Super Cup became a real possibility, the lightning-fast nature of his dismissal caught many off guard. AS described the announcement as a genuine “bombshell” that sent shockwaves through the corridors of power at the club. Though everyone knew Monday’s meeting was happening, almost no one anticipated it would result in Alonso’s immediate departure.

After just 34 matches at the helm of his beloved former club, Alonso now finds himself searching for his next opportunity, replaced by a manager with zero experience at the elite level—a decision that raised more than a few eyebrows.

The aftermath saw an outpouring of support from the Real Madrid dressing room, with stars like Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Federico Valverde publicly backing their departed manager. The club itself paid tribute with a gracious statement, honoring the 44-year-old as a “legend of Real Madrid.”

Now the burden shifts to the players themselves. If Real Madrid harbor any ambitions of salvaging silverware from this tumultuous season, the stars in white will need to produce a dramatic turnaround in the campaign’s second half.
