Real Madrid have decided on Solari’s faith. After the row between Florentino Pérez and Sergio Ramos, the president of the club is even more convinced that they need a ‘hard hand’ to fix the dressing room and Pérez believes Mourinho is the man for the job. He has put his name forward along with Zinedine Zidane but there are problems with both.
José Ángel Sánchez, the general director and the man responsible for sporting matters, is not on board with bringing Mourinho back. The Portuguese has outstanding issues with some players in the dressing room including Ramos, Benzema and Marcelo. And the Bernabéu faithful fell out with Mourinho too at the end. In his last season, Real Madrid lost at home to Atlético in the Copa, were elminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League and were 15 points behind Barcelona in the league.
Zidane is the next name broached but he cut Florentino off when he offered him the chance to return. The previous manager has Juventus on his agenda (Allegri is leaving in the summer, it seems) and then French side. Various directors have advised the president to choose Low but he has Mou on the brain and is unwilling to change his mind.
