Zinedine Zidane appointed as new Real Madrid manager

Zinedine Zidane has returned back to the Santiago Bernabeu after leaving the club 10 months ago, following his achievement of winning three Champions League trophies with the Spanish giants.

Zidane will replace Santiago Solari as head coach, who was in charge of the club for less than five months. Solari was sacked after the 4-1 victory over Real Valladolid. A win which followed a shock 4-1 defeat at home to Ajax which knocked Los Blancos out of the Champions League.

The 46 year-old Frenchman has been offered a contract which will keep at the Madrid club until June 30,2022.

A statement by the club was released today and it read:

 “The Board of Directors of Real Madrid, meeting today, Monday, March 11, 2019, has decided to terminate the contract that linked Santiago Solari with the club as coach of the first team.

“Real Madrid appreciates the work done by Santiago Solari and the commitment and loyalty he has always shown.

“The Board of Directors has also agreed the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as the new coach of Real Madrid with immediate incorporation for the remainder of the season and the next three, until June 30, 2022.
