Real Madrid's elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich is expected to trigger significant changes at the club, starting with the position of head coach Alvaro Arbeloa. The 43-year-old, who took over in January, is likely to be dismissed, although he may remain in charge until the end of the season. The Spanish side's defeat, which ended their hopes of winning a major trophy this term, has sparked speculation about potential replacements for Arbeloa, with Jurgen Klopp, Zinedine Zidane, and Mauricio Pochettino all being mentioned.
However, the club's problems run deeper, with issues such as the number of signings, harmony in the dressing room, and a high number of injuries all contributing to two disappointing seasons. As a result, significant changes are expected, not just in the coaching staff but also in other key departments, including the potential appointment of a director of football. The club's medical team has also been under scrutiny, with a high number of injuries and disagreements between coaching staff and the physical trainer Antonio Pintus.
With the club's leadership under pressure to deliver success, the coming weeks are likely to bring more clarity on the future of Real Madrid.
