Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa could leave his position at the end of the current season if the team's performance in the Champions League is unsuccessful, AS reports.
After the defeat to Mallorca (1:2) in the 30th round of the Spanish La Liga, the fight for the championship title looks very difficult, and the coach's chances of remaining on the bench next season depend on the performance of the "cream" in the European Cup.
The defeat to Mallorca was Arbeloa's fifth in 18 games in charge of Real Madrid. His work in the dressing room has been highly praised by the management, as he has managed to stabilize the atmosphere with key players such as Vinicius, Bellingham and Valverde, as well as giving opportunities to many academy graduates. However, the defeat undermined any positive momentum.
After 30 matches in the Spanish league, Real Madrid has 69 points and is in second place in the standings, seven points behind Barcelona.
