Alvaro Arbeloa has set a catastrophic record as the current head coach of Real Madrid, with statistics revealing he is the worst manager in the club’s modern history.
Barcelona clinched their 29th La Liga title after a 2-0 victory over their arch-rivals Real Madrid in the Clásico on Monday night. Goals from Marcus Rashford in the 9th minute and Ferran Torres in the 18th sealed the Catalan side’s triumph in emphatic fashion against their eternal rivals.
On the other side, Arbeloa continues to endure disastrous results at the helm of Real Madrid, registering an unprecedented negative statistic in the club’s recent history. The former Spanish defender now holds the highest loss percentage among any manager to have led the team in at least 20 official matches in the 21st century, having suffered defeats in 8 out of 25 games in charge.
Arbeloa’s loss rate stands at a staggering 32%, the worst of any coach to have managed the club in recent decades—a clear indicator of the team’s struggles under his leadership.
Despite the immense pressure that always surrounds any manager at the Santiago Bernabéu, none of his predecessors reached such a high defeat rate early in their tenure with the team.
