Alonso's mistake

Xabi Alonso considers managing Real Madrid a huge mistake as the Spanish giants are mired in internal chaos and power struggles.

Alonso regrets managing Manchester United.

According to Cadena SER , the 44-year-old coach admitted to close associates that accepting the Real Madrid head coach position was a mistake in his career. He feels relieved that he no longer has to directly witness the current instability at his former club.

The situation at Real Madrid has become complicated as internal conflicts have become increasingly apparent. Most recently, the friction between Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde has significantly impacted the team's image and created a major obstacle to maintaining on-field performance. On the coaching bench, Alvaro Arbeloa is also facing a deadlock.

The club's leadership believes Arbeloa bears primary responsibility for failing to restore order and cohesion in the dressing room. The root cause of this rift stems from underlying power struggles.

Alonso was once a victim of division, with strained relationships between him and several key players. Differences in opinion with Vinicius Junior were seen as a major factor putting pressure on his coaching. The Brazilian star received absolute support from President Florentino Perez, limiting Alonso's influence over the team.

Real Madrid are reportedly looking for a new manager, with Jose Mourinho being the leading candidate. Meanwhile, Alonso has no plans to return to the dugout. Nevertheless, the former Leverkusen manager is still attracting interest from clubs such as Chelsea and Liverpool.
