Santiago Solari, a safe choice

Mundo Deportivo reported that Santiago Solari, a former Real Madrid coach, is also on the list of candidates. Solari led the team in the 2018-2019 period. Although he was not a great success, he still maintained a close relationship with the club.

As someone who understands the culture and internal affairs of Real, Solari is considered a safe solution if Perez wants a quick and minimally disruptive transition. Solari has been criticized for his ineffectiveness as a coach, losing 8 of his 32 matches in charge of Real. However, the fact that this strategist has always shown his willingness to take on a new role and maintain his commitment to the team is a plus in the eyes of the board.

Although Xabi Alonso and Santiago Solari both have their own strengths, Real Madrid’s final choice will depend on the club’s long-term strategic direction. If Real want a breath of fresh air and innovation in tactics, Xabi Alonso will be the right name.

On the contrary, if the club prioritizes stability in the short term, Solari is a viable option. The decision will be made soon, especially in the context of the current La Liga champions entering an important transition period. Fans are waiting to see if Real Madrid can find the right person to maintain the dominance they have enjoyed for the past decade or so.
