Internal problems and the division of the dressing rooms into two groups have led to the dismissal of Xabi Alonso from the management of Real Madrid.
According to "The Athletic", the Spanish coach lost the support of the team's key figures in recent months.
Players such as Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and Vinicius Junior had taken a stand against the coach's methods, with the latter having shown public displeasure since the "El Clasico" match in October.
The list of unhappy players was also joined by names like Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, Endrick and Ferland Mendy.
On the other hand, players like Kylian Mbappe, Arda Guler and Aurelien Tchouameni continued to support the 44-year-old. This climate of tension forced the board of directors to end their cooperation in the middle of the season.
