Santiago Solari is elected. At least, that is to say that after the unexpected departure of Zinedine Zidane in May, a series of coaches overthrew Real Madrid during the summer and that Julen Lopetegui was fired last month.
Argentina is now responsible full time. The club confirmed Tuesday night that the Blancos had won four victories out of four as acting captain.
The victories over Melilla, Valladolid, Viktoria Plzen and Celta Vigo convinced the power exercised at Santiago Bernababeu by the name of Solari the good man to advance the club. In truth, however, there were not many viable options.

Jurgen Klopp, Joachim Low, Mbadimiliano Allegri and Julian Nagelsmann also answered no and Madrid then turned to Lopetegui, the former coach of Spain, sacked by the team to play only 14 matches.
Real wanted Antonio Conte after that, but the Italian was wary of a hostile cloakroom and would take over in the middle of the season. At the club, the personality of the Italian was also questioned.
Solari left Castilla, the youth team, after coaching junior teams within the club over the past five years.
A Champions League winner with Madrid, who played alongside Zidane and who is friendly with the Frenchman, won his first four games to make the best start ever recorded by a new coach in the history of club.

Benitez lost a little longer, but was sentenced after the defeat, while Lopetegui lost his post immediately after a 5-1 defeat by Barca at Camp Nou last month.
Against all odds, Zidane transformed the team's fortunes and led Los Blancos to three consecutive titles in the Champions League and to a league title among nine trophies in total, and the president of Madrid, Perez, hopes a similar recovery under Solari.
However, Real sold Cristiano Ronaldo during the summer and has not yet done so. replace the Portuguese, who scored 450 goals in nine seasons at Bernabeu, including several crucial goals in the Champions League. season and also tired after the World Cup, Zidane claiming that he could no longer motivate his team.
This is not unusual in a club like Real or Barca, where even successful coaches only stay for about three seasons, and the first signs are signs of it. this solar I've already had a positive impact.
The club is back on all competitions and has more than four points ahead of the La Liga Barca after Sunday's home defeat against Betis.
More difficult tests than Melilla, Valladolid, Viktoria Plzen and Celta are waiting for us, and the game still needs to improve considerably, despite the positive results of the last four games.
Solari has theoretically until 2021 to stand out, but in reality he will have to succeed soon to stay in control – and that probably means winning a trophy this season. The work begins now.
