They said that Alonso has already lost the team's dressing room and did not have the backing of important players; some even wanted him to leave.
According to reports, Vinicius Jr. has also told Florentino Perez that he will not extend his contract as long as Alonso is the coach.
Real Madrid makes an important choice
Alonso's future at Real Madrid has been vitally updated by a recent MARCA story, which indicates that the team has already made a significant choice.
According to the report, Real Madrid has made the decision to support Alonso wholeheartedly and are prepared to honour his role as head coach.
Real Madrid's message is that Alonso is the project's leader and that there are no questions about him. He is the boss over all other players, regardless of how significant they are.
Real Madrid supports all of Alonso's choices, including the occasional benching of Vinicius, in light of this.
The team is prepared to support Alonso in the face of any possible setback in the locker room because they think he is the ideal coach for the group.
Alonso, who has had to cope with rumours circulating in the Spanish press of a possible anti-Alonso faction emerging inside Real Madrid's ranks, will be relieved by this.
But even with the backing, Alonso needs to show that he can lead Real Madrid in the correct way, particularly in light of the team's recent poor performance.
