Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa has said that he is not concerned about his future at the club beyond the summer.

Arbeloaās side are nine points adrift in La Liga, and has seen his side eliminated from the Copa del Rey and Champions League, struggling for results to back up his permanent candidacy. Speaking after the Bayern Munich defeat, Arbeloa told Diario AS that he did not feel as if he had anything to prove.
āAs Iāve said, since Iāve sat in this chair, itās beenā¦ well, not to prove my level as a coach. Iāve never wanted to win matches with my decisions, but rather by helping the players on the pitch. Weāve faced, well, many teams. Kompanyās Bayern Munich, Guardiolaās City, Simeoneās Atleticoā¦ well, I think most teams in Europe bear the mark of their coaches.ā
āI donāt know how much of my stamp this team has; what percentage. Surely, a much smaller one than the examples Iāve given or what Castilla might have had, in my case. And as Iāve said, Iāve always tried to help the clubā¦ (pause), in any way I could. And thatās how it will be until the very last day.ā
Real Madrid future ādoes not worry meā
He was asked if he felt that during their Champions League clashes with Manchester City and Bayern Munich, he had provided sufficient arguments to make a case for his continuity.
āIt doesnāt worry me at all, and Iāll understand any decisions the club makes. Iāll understand them perfectly. As I said, Iām a man of the club, who alwaysā¦ well, if Iām hurting today, itās not for myself, but for Real Madrid. Because weāre not going to win the sixteenth this year. Iām hurting for the players, as I said before; for the club, the fans. Andā¦ā
