Relevo reported that Real Madrid’s management contacted one of the coaches and informed him that he would coach the team in the event that Carlo Ancelotti is dismissed this season.
The results of the royal club declined before the international break, which put Ancelotti’s future at stake, and made the management start looking for a temporary replacement coach if things get worse.
According to the latest report, Real Madrid’s management informed Santiago Solari that he would coach the team if the team lost in the last match against Osasuna.
Ancelotti managed to escape the guillotine of dismissal after Real won 4-0 and presented a very convincing performance, but the club’s plan remains the same that Solari will be the temporary solution if something new comes up.
Real is entering a difficult stage of the season, and the match considers that every match until the end of this year is a final that cannot be lost.
If the team suffers a number of defeats and the poor performance continues, then the management may decide to proceed with its plan and dismiss Ancelotti and appoint Solari until the end of the season and then appoint Xabi Alonso as a permanent coach starting next season.
The Merengue management chose Solari due to his great knowledge of how things are going within the club, in addition to his accurate knowledge of the academy, which makes him able to compensate for the injuries that the team is currently experiencing.
It is worth noting that Solari previously coached Real Madrid for less than half a season after the dismissal of Julen Lopetegui in 2018, but he did not last long and was dismissed after a few months and Zinedine Zidane returned after that.
