NEW DELHI: Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham has dismissed rumours that he was involved in the group whose revolt led to Xabi Alonso's removal as head coach. He criticised those spreading these reports and urged fans not to believe them.
Xabi Alonso’s tenure as Real Madrid manager lasted only seven months, ending after the Los Blancos lost to archrivals Barcelona in the Super Cup final. More than the loss itself, it was the rift within the dressing room that prompted Alonso’s exit from Madrid.
Reports have circulated about a divide within Real Madrid’s dressing room under Alonso's management. Some of these reports also suggest that Bellingham is among the players who feel uneasy under Alonso's leadership.
