Hansi Flick commented on Arbeloa’s appointment as Real Madrid head coach

Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, after which Xabi Alonso was dismissed. Following that, the Barça head coach was asked about his successor.

Details: Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick offered a very restrained reaction to the appointment of Álvaro Arbeloa as manager.

Quote: “Arbeloa as Real’s new manager? When we play against them, I’ll take a look… Then I’ll have time to see,” Flick commented.

Real Madrid are preparing for their first match under the new manager. It will take place on Wednesday, January 14, in the Copa del Rey against Albacete. Barça will face Racing on Thursday, January 15.

Reminder: The Barcelona manager also commented on the situation surrounding his colleague Xabi Alonso, stressing that such developments are part of the reality of football and lie beyond his sphere of responsibility.
