I don’t know what the club will do with Arbeloa, I understand he’s expected to win. But I’d like him to stay. He knows A LOT about football, understands the club, transmits, motivates and connects with the players and is the ideal person to develop the great generations coming from La Fábrica. He took over the team mid-season and has faced enormous difficulties. Yet in the Champions League he delivered two epic ties against City and Bayern, two giants (today he came close and deserved the 2-4 that would have taken them to the semis), and in La Liga he has tried to fix hard-to-cover flaws, deal with impossible absences and navigate deadly refereeing. I would love to see him take charge of the next Madrid, reinforced, from preseason, and see how far he can take it
