Newly appointed interim head coach of Real Madrid, Alvaro Arbeloa, says he is ready to stay in the head coaching role for as long as the club wishes.
He said this in his first official press conference since being named head coach following the exit of Arbeloa’s former Liverpool and Real Madrid playing mate Xabi Alonso on Monday, January 12.
Alonso’s 3-2 loss to FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup was the former Real Madrid player’s final game in charge of the club but for Arbeloa, he says he is willing to be with the club as long as he is wanted.
“I’ve been at this club for 20 years, and I’ll be here as long as Real Madrid want me to be. This is my home, and it always will be. This club is about winning, winning, and winning again.”
“Those demands are a reflection of the DNA that has brought us here, to this trophy-laden history. When I was a player, I learned those values from the people in that dressing room. We want to excite fans all over the world and help fill those trophy cabinets even more” Arbeloa said according to the club’s media.
Arbeloa had served as coach for Real Madrid’s juvenile teams since 2020 prior to his appointment as interim head coach with the main team.
