Arbeloa is still unable to secure the Real Madrid managerial seat for next season.
Details: According to TopSkills Sports UK, citing El Nacional, 54-year-old Spanish coach Unai Emery, currently at the helm of Aston Villa, could be appointed as Real Madrid's new manager this summer if Arbeloa fails to deliver successful results.

Reports suggest that Emery's arrival would trigger a sweeping overhaul of the squad, with the Spaniard demanding the sale of players such as Arda Güler and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Should Emery take over, Antonio Rüdiger would also be out of the plans, as his contract expires this summer.
Unai Emery took charge of Aston Villa in 2022. He has overseen 177 matches, claiming 99 wins, 31 draws, and 47 defeats.
Emery's current contract with Aston Villa runs until 2029.
