Blog of insider soccer tips
European club champion Real Madrid will have a new coach. Tonight the management of the `white ballet` officially fired Yule Lopethegi. His place will be temporarily occupied by the mentor of the double Santiago Solari. The Argentine may be a temporary mentor for only two weeks, and a new permanent coach should be appointed or offered a contract at that time.
The information was distributed from the club`s official site. The board of directors has taken the difficult decision because of the club`s poor performance during the season. In the weekend, Real lost 1:5 in the derby with Barcelona, and in the rankings took only ninth place after playing 10 rounds. Lopethegi became coach of Real in the summer with a scandal after being announced a day before the start of the World Cup 2018. The Spanish federation fired him, and now the same fate followed him to Bernabeu.
Solaris`s debut at Real Madrid will be on Wednesday in the 1/16-finals of the King`s Cup tournament advised by soccer partners against Melliya`s third division.
Lopteggi is expected to hold Antonio Conte permanently, but in the last few days it became clear that the leaders in the dressing room did not like him.
