Real Madrid are facing growing internal unrest under head coach Álvaro Arbeloa, with concerns over dressing room harmony, leadership, and squad management intensifying in recent weeks.
According to multiple reports in Spain, the club’s hierarchy, led by president Florentino Pérez, had initial reservations about Arbeloa’s appointment, and those concerns are now being amplified by on-field struggles and internal dissatisfaction.
Sources indicate that sections of the dressing room have begun to lose confidence in the coach, with tensions reportedly involving senior figures such as Dani Carvajal and the reduced role of Dani Ceballos. Members of the Spanish core are believed to feel they have not been treated equitably compared to other players.
The unrest comes amid a difficult season for Real Madrid, with reports highlighting a lack of leadership and cohesion within the squad.
Compounding the situation, injuries to key players including Éder Militão and Arda Güler have exposed concerns about the club’s medical and fitness management, prompting discussions over possible structural changes.
There are also indications that some players have already begun shifting focus toward the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, reflecting uncertainty around the club’s immediate objectives.
Despite the growing pressure, Real Madrid have yet to make an official decision on Arbeloa’s future, although reports suggest the club is already exploring alternative coaching options.
