I can't go to Real Madrid's website.

Do you have the same problem as well?

@English_AS Zidane will step us as Madrid interim coach with Santi Solari as his No.2.

Zidane is zidane, he will drop cristiano or james or whoever big name isn't playing well and they won't be able to talk back because it's zidane.
That means they may improve considerably. Let's hope he's a shit manager.

I dont know if Zidane is the type to do so. It all remains to be seen but in general I feel they rushed him. He should have been put in at the start of the post Ronaldo era in 1.5 years for example to build his own squad.

Damn wished Benitez stayed for another month or so, but whatever, Zidane is NOT ready and he doesn't appear to be the level of manager we should be afraid of. Castilla is not playing spectacularly at all, and they have been saved many times by late winners. There is no clear tactical setup with him (pressing, counter/passing) and that will be their downfall.

Seriously though, I don't think it was fair to fire him. They should have given him more time.

But in the end Casillas rejected the offer.

Press conference at 19:30

After all the rumors and speculations it's now official. Floper will hold the press conference in aprox. 40 minutes.
If it's to trust the rumors Benitez will be fired tonight and Zidane will have his first presser tomorrow after the training session.

Real Madrid's official announcement on their press conference tonight.

 

[Barcaman]

Zidane is not ready for this job.

 

[MaxY]

Zidane is not ready for this job.

Definitely not. This could see the fans turn on Zidane who doesn't deserve it. The man should start with a clean sheet and his own transfers to choose before being judged.

Rafa in his defense to quote Ronaldo: "Some people like me, some people hate me....but I'm made to be the best"

Obviously timing matters a lot. Zidane gets to buy some time during the next month or so seeing that Real Madrid have an easy road ahead of them. I just hope they fail miserably from the get go as always.
