Biography
Álvaro Arbeloa Coca (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈalβaɾo aɾβeˈloa ˈkoka]; born 17 January 1983) is a Spanish professional football manager and former footballer who is the head coach of Premier League club Fulham. He predominantly played as a right-back, and occasionally on the left side.
He started his career with Real Madrid, playing mostly with the reserves. In 2006 he moved to Deportivo, joining Liverpool after half a season and going on to appear in 98 official matches over three Premier League seasons. In 2009, he returned to Real Madrid for a fee of £5 million, spending seven years there and winning eight major titles, including the 2011–12 edition of La Liga and two Champions League titles. He earned 56 caps for Spain, representing the country at the 2010 World Cup, Euro 2008 and Euro 2012 and winning all three tournaments.
Arbeloa began working as a manager in 2025 and, from January to June 2026, was in charge of Real Madrid's first team. In July, he was appointed at Fulham.
