The decision was confirmed less than 24 hours after the loss, which saw Barcelona edge their rivals in a closely contested encounter. Speaking after the match, Alonso had downplayed the significance of the Supercopa, describing it as “the least important” competition the team would participate in this season.
In a statement released on Monday, the LaLiga giants announced that the decision to end the relationship was reached by mutual agreement, bringing Alonso’s tenure to an end.
“Real Madrid C.F. and Xabi Alonso have agreed to part ways by mutual consent,” the club said, while thanking the former midfielder for his commitment and professionalism during his time in charge.
The club has yet to announce an interim or permanent replacement, with further updates expected in the coming days.
“Real Madrid C.F. announces that, by mutual agreement between the club and Xabi Alonso, it has been decided to end his time as first-team coach,” the statement read.
The club paid tribute to the former midfielder, describing Alonso as a Real Madrid legend who exemplifies the institution’s core values.
“Xabi Alonso will always have the affection and admiration of all Madrid fans because he is a Real Madrid legend and has always represented the values of our club. Real Madrid will always be his home,” the statement added.
Alonso, who enjoyed a successful playing career at the Santiago Bernabéu, departs with the club’s respect amid expectations that further announcements regarding the team’s managerial future will be made soon.
Real Madrid also expressed appreciation to Alonso and his entire technical crew for their commitment and professionalism during their time at the club, wishing them success in their future careers.
The former Spain international had come under increasing pressure in recent weeks following inconsistent performances, as Real Madrid struggled to meet expectations in both LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.
Alonso’s exit comes at a critical moment, with the decision taken just two days before Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey Round of 16 clash against Albacete, raising questions over the club’s immediate tactical plans and interim coaching arrangements.
The club is expected to announce further details regarding Alonso’s replacement in the coming days.
