Solari Set for Real Madrid Sacking

By Daily Sports on March 9, 2019

Santi Solari has lost the support of the Real Madrid hierarchy and will be sacked as manager when the club settle on a replacement, sources have told ESPN FC.

Solari is now effectively an “interim manager” after Madrid bosses took the decision to remove him following his side’s elimination from the Champions League round-of-16 stage in a 4-1 loss to Ajax on Tuesday.

The defeat meant the 13-time European champions are out of the running for all major trophies this season, with the La Liga title well out of sight and their Copa del Rey campaign brutally ended by arch rivals Barcelona last month.

The board are ready to move ahead with Solari’s departure, sources have told ESPN, but have not found a viable candidate to take over, which has delayed his dismissal.

Sources say the club’s board have spent the last 24 hours conducting a frantic search for the right person to take control until the end of the season, with an eye on the next phase of the club’s future.

Club president Florentino Perez and other members of the board conducted an emergency meeting at the Bernabeu in which the option of changing manager was discussed. The meeting lasted well into the early hours of Friday morning, but when it ended the board had still not identified an obvious candidate.

Most would rather not wait until the summer to get rid of Solari with 12 La Liga matches left for the team to ensure their participation in the Champions League next season. Real Madrid sit third in the table on 48 points, six clear of Getafe in fourth.

Former managers Zinedine Zidane and Jose Mourinho have both emerged as possible successors to Solari. (ESPN)
