The 43-year-old, who left Real Madrid at the end of last season, succeeded Marco Silva, who agreed to join Benfica.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It is a real honour for me to be embarking on this new stage at Fulham FC, the oldest club in London. I am really looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere at Craven Cottage with Fulham fans and beginning pre-season with the players next week. I am sure we are going to enjoy an incredible journey together,\" Arbeloa said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arbeloa\u2019s first taste of coaching came back at the Club where he spent so much of his playing career, when Florentino Perez brought him in to lead Real Madrid\u2019s Under-14 side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After winning the league title in his first season, Arbeloa was promoted to coach the Under-16s, though he quickly moved up to look after the 19s, where he won the treble \u2013 La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions Cup \u2013 in his maiden campaign.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having won the league again in 2024\/25, Arbeloa was named as the coach of Castilla, Real Madrid\u2019s famed B side, replacing club legend Ra\u00fal who had held the position for the previous six years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

During his time at the helm, he led them to a second-place finish in La Liga, though the highlight of his spell in charge at the Bernab\u00e9u will surely be the 5-1 aggregate victory over Pep Guardiola\u2019s Manchester City in the Champions League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
