Xabi Alonso's sacking unfair - Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has described manager Xabi Alonso's dismissal as unfair.

The Belgian insisted that the coach paid the price for the team's poor results after just 34 official matches in charge of Real Madrid.

Recall that Alonso was sacked by Real Madrid in January after their 3–2 defeat against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup.

Los Blancos then appointed Alvaro Arbeloa to replace Alonso. Alonso is now the manager of Premier League club Chelsea.

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Belgium's Nations League clash with Turkey on Thursday, Courtois commented on Alonso’s departure from Real Madrid.

The former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper said, “It’s not fair. I think that is always how it works in football: when results aren’t good, the manager is the first to pay the price.”
