Santiago Solari has taken charge of his first training session with Real Madrid following the sacking of Julen Lupetegi.

The 42-year old Argentine who has been promoted from Real Madrid “B” team, replaces Lupetegi on a temporary basis, in the aftermath of the horrendous 5-1 defeat at Camp Nou.
Solari’s interim spell, meets a run of 4 games in 12 days starting with the third division Melilla in the Copa-Del-Rey, plus 2 La Liga fixtures against Valladolid and Celta Vigo. They will then take on Czech’s Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Champions League.
