Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has weighed in on Xabi Alonso’s recent sacking at Real Madrid, hinting that trust issues between the coach, players, and club hierarchy may have led to his departure.
Speaking ahead of Barcelona’s Copa del Rey clash against Real Racing Club, Flick said he did not want to delve into the details, emphasizing that a manager cannot remain at a club if confidence is lost from those in charge.
Flick praised Alonso as a “fantastic coach” and wished him success in his next role, recalling their long-standing friendship since meeting in Leverkusen.
He added that football decisions are complex, and ultimately it is up to the club to decide who leads the team. Alonso’s tenure included a win against Barcelona in the league but ended with a narrow 3-2 loss in the Spanish Super Cup final, a result that perhaps contributed to the club’s decision.
Fans are now discussing whether Real Madrid’s management style and internal pressures are becoming a bigger story than on-field results.
