Kylian Mbappé to Work with Ninth Coach Alvaro Arbeloa at Real Madrid After Alonso's Exit

After the dismissal of Xabi Alonso and the appointment of Alvaro Arbeloa as the new head coach of Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé will be experiencing his ninth coach since turning professional.

Does Kylian Mbappé’s presence inevitably lead to instability? It may be premature to draw such conclusions. However, Xabi Alonso’s recent departure highlights a telling statistic: the French forward is set to work under his ninth club coach with Alvaro Arbeloa’s arrival at Real Madrid.

The Bondy native began his career in December 2015, just ten years ago. This means Mbappé has cycled through a new coach approximately every 1.4 years, as reported by ESPN Deportes. Since joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, he has seen six coaches dismissed while being part of the squad (four at PSG and two at Real Madrid).

Stability at AS Monaco and with the French National Team

The French captain has truly only found stability during his time at AS Monaco, where he played exclusively under the guidance of Leonardo Jardim, and with the national team, where Didier Deschamps has remained his sole coach. Now, Mbappé will be under the direction of Alvaro Arbeloa, who took over from Xabi Alonso this past Tuesday.
