Real Madrid’s string of poor results has taken a significant toll on the atmosphere inside the Los Blancos dressing room.
Details: According to The Athletic, more and more players in the Madrid locker room are no longer backing current head coach Álvaro Arbeloa.
The report indicates that, despite an initial improvement in team morale following Arbeloa’s arrival, Real Madrid’s recent setbacks in La Liga and the Copa del Rey have seriously undermined the players’ trust in the 43-year-old manager.

At the moment, Arbeloa’s dismissal is not being considered. However, if tensions within the squad continue to rise, there is a strong possibility that the situation could mirror what happened with former head coach Xabi Alonso.
Arbeloa took charge of Real Madrid in January this year. He has overseen 12 matches at the helm of the Galácticos, recording 8 wins and 4 defeats.
