Real Madrid keeps planning its squad for next season, but what Florentino Pérez didn't expect at this point is to suffer a key loss in the sports organization. Santiago Solari has decided, in a surprising move, to leave his position at Santiago Bernabéu to start a new experience far from Spain's capital... Trying to resume his career on the sidelines.
In recent years, Solari has held the position of football director at Real Madrid, being key for signings like Mastantuono's. The Argentine is someone President Florentino Pérez trusts the most, but he is clear that this isn't his place in football. What he wants is to coach a team again, having made the decision to start a new adventure away from the offices.
Santiago Solari leaves Real Madrid
The journalist Fernando Burgos has spoken, being the one who revealed this information on the "Radioestadio Noche" show on Onda Cero. "In the coming days, Solari will leave his current position with Real Madrid because he wants to coach again," Burgos reported.
The truth is that Santiago Solari's role has been very important in recent years at Madrid. From his time on Castilla's bench, moving to the first team, to having a vital role in the offices.
In this regard, Solari has already confirmed his decision to Florentino Pérez, informing him that this is the next step he wants to take in his career. "Madrid-Barcelona" has learned that Real Madrid hasn't put up any obstacles, letting him leave to fulfill his wish.
Destination in mind
No one expected such a quick move, which means the Argentine would already have a destination practically set. "Madrid-Barcelona" hasn't been able to confirm this detail, only adding that he is a coach very highly regarded in South America.
It remains to be seen where Santiago Solari will head after leaving Real Madrid, but what is clear is that, for him, it's a very good opportunity to turn down. There will be more information soon, with the Argentine having confirmed internally that he is definitely leaving Valdebebas.
