Fulham and Alvaro Arbeloa
Tuesday
Fulham have appointed former Real Madrid boss Alvaro Arbeloa as their new head coach on a three-year contract. The Spaniard replaces Marco Silva, who left Craven Cottage to take over Portuguese giants Benfica this summer.
Fulham moved quickly after considering several candidates, backing Arbeloa’s Madrid reputation and strong references from Florentino Perez and Jose Mourinho. He now starts pre-season next week and is already linked with moves for young Real Madrid talent.
