Another Disappointment for Álvaro Arbeloa

Interim coach Álvaro Arbeloa has departed Real Madrid amidst controversy following a disappointing season, which culminated in a reported altercation between Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde and a complete lack of silverware. He was not offered a permanent position and was therefore forced to leave. It has now emerged that Arbeloa was also rejected by Bayer Leverkusen, who are currently searching for a new manager.

According to "Bild," the former defender was proposed to the German club, but they declined the option to sign him.

Ironically, Arbeloa had succeeded Xabi Alonso at the helm of Real Madrid, with Alonso having arrived directly from Leverkusen.
