Solari's rating: 8/10
'Solari's brave choice of an attacking XI containing seven players 23 or younger was rewarded with a convincing victory that can help start to lift the gloom around the Bernabeu. Could not have gone much better, as the interim coach makes his bid for the job long term.'
It isn't yet known whether the Argentine is going to stay in charge of Real Madrid on a permanent basis. Los Blancos are linked with several big names on the coaching market: Antonio Conte, Roberto Martinez, Mauricio Pochettino. Moreover, Solari is able to remain an interim coach for fourteen days before the club register a long-term manager.
In any case, several Madrid players seem to be ready to welcome Solari until the end of the current season. That's how Nacho praises the Argentine after the Melilla match: 'We have a new coach, who is excited and we will fight to the death for him too. We will work as if he's here for the full season, he is from here, he is experienced, he has won titles with Madrid. We, the players, don't have to make these decisions and we will see what happens but he's a great coach.'
Do you want Solari to stay permanently?
