Real Madrid's elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich is expected to lead to a period of significant upheaval at the club, potentially starting with the position of head coach Alvaro Arbeloa. The 43-year-old, who was appointed in January, may face dismissal due to the defeat, although he could remain in his role until the end of the season.
The loss means that Madrid are unlikely to win a major trophy this term, and the club's history suggests that failure will not be tolerated, with the manager and coaching staff often bearing the brunt of the responsibility. The general consensus around the club is that Arbeloa's position is under threat, but it is unclear who might replace him.
The situation at Madrid is further complicated by the potential for wider changes, including the appointment of a new director of football and potential adjustments to the club's medical team. The coming weeks are expected to bring more clarity on the situation, but one thing is certain - significant changes are on the horizon for Real Madrid.
