Khabib Nurmagomedov supported Xabi Alonso and called on Real to get rid of capricious players

Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov criticized the decision of Real Madrid management to part ways with head coach Xabi Alonso and called on the club to get rid of capricious players.

Real Madrid announced Alonso’s departure on Monday. The agreement with the 44-year-old Spanish specialist was terminated by mutual agreement of the parties.

— If you come to the gym or to the field, it makes no difference whether they are fighters or football players, then you, as the head coach, rule. But if there is such an aura in your team that not everyone fulfills your requirements, you are definitely not on the right path.

I believe that Alonso is one of the three best coaches of our time. If the team doesn’t work well with him, then they need to change the players, not the coach. I’m just sure that no coach can cope with such a squad at Real Madrid. We need to get rid of capricious players,” Nurmagomedov wrote on the social network.

Alonso took charge of Real Madrid ahead of the current season. Before the Madrid club, the Spaniard coached Bayer Leverkusen, with whom he became the German champion, winner of the country’s Cup and Super Cup.
