MADRID: Álvaro Arbeloa confirmed what many in Spain took for granted for weeks — he won’t be Real Madrid’s coach beyond the final game of the season on Saturday. When asked in a press conference Friday if the La Liga game against Athletic Bilbao would be his last, Arbeloa said, “Yes.” Arbeloa was widely expected to be on his way out after he was unable to steer the team to a trophy following his promotion from the club’s reserve team in January to replace the fired Xabi Alonso. Madrid lost to a second-division opponent in the Copa del Rey in Arbeloa’s debut.
