LONDON \u2014 Fulham hired Alvaro Arbeloa as manager in an overnight announcement Wednesday that completed a coaching merry-go-round involving Real Madrid and Benfica.<\/p>

Arbeloa left Madrid at the end of last season, with Jose Mourinho<\/a> taking over at the Spanish giant. Mourinho arrived after leaving Benfica, which has since appointed Marco Silva<\/a> \u2014 who moved there after five years at Fulham.<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old Arbeloa has signed a three-year deal at Fulham after being interim coach at Madrid for the second half of last season following the departure of Xabi Alonso. Before that, he was a youth coach at Madrid, and a former player there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am really looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere at Craven Cottage with Fulham fans and beginning pre-season with the players next week,\u201d Arbeloa said. \u201cI am sure we are going to enjoy an incredible journey together.<\/p>

Fulham chairman Shahid Khan said Arbeloa \u201cbuilt an exceptional case through our meetings in June\u201d to become the team\u2019s next coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlvaro is, by his own admission, very ambitious,\u201d the chairman said. \u201cHe has spent quality time around the best players, clubs and methods in the game, experiences which will serve him well here at Fulham.\u201d<\/p>
