Jurgen Klopp expressed his genuine surprise at the recent decision to terminate Xabi Alonso’s tenure as the head coach of Real Madrid. He also took the opportunity to comment on the swirling speculations surrounding his potential appointment at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Xabi Alonso was relieved of his duties less than eight months after taking the helm, with the announcement coming on Monday, just a day after his team suffered a defeat against their arch-rivals Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final. The esteemed club released an official statement indicating that the separation was reached “by mutual consent,” and subsequently appointed Álvaro Arbeloa as the interim manager.
