Real Madrid preparing major leadership shake-up after disastrous season collapse

Real Madrid preparing major leadership shake-up after disastrous season collapse

The fallout from another painful season at Real Madrid continues to grow, and now even the club’s captaincy structure could be heading for major changes.

According to MARCA, club president Florentino Perez and the board of directors are expected to discuss the possibility of modifying Real Madrid’s long-standing seniority rule for captains as part of a wider summer rebuild.

After losing La Liga to Barcelona and ending the season without a major trophy, there is a growing feeling inside the club that something fundamental needs to change, not only tactically, but also inside the dressing room.

For weeks, criticism has grown around Florentino Perez and the lack of visible leadership from his side during some of the club’s most chaotic moments this season.

The Real Madrid president has rarely spoken publicly in recent months and was notably absent during several key moments, including an altercation between players.

Major changes expected

It is known that Real Madrid will undergo major changes in the summer and one of the first big decisions expected from Perez involves the managerial situation.

According to the report, Alvaro Arbeloa will be told he will not continue as the head coach next season and the changes are unlikely to stop there.
