Álvaro Arbeloa has never coached a first-team match in his career, but he takes his place on the Real Madrid bench as Xabi Alonso's successor following his success with the club's youth academy. The former Madrid and Spain defender was in charge of the club's B team, Castilla, until Monday and takes over the position after Alonso's sacking with the backing of club president Florentino Pérez.
