The return of Santiago Solari to Real Madrid is a fact. The board wanted to recover him at all costs. The latest reports say that among the Argentine's tasks, there will also be acting as a link between the board and the dressing room. That is to say, he will be aware of Ancelotti's needs to transfer them to Florentino Pérez and his board and vice versa.

This will be done through weekly meetings with the first team coach. In his new position as director of the Sports City, he must have a fluid relationship with Ancelotti. The idea is to help in sports planning, taking advantage of his good relationship with the club's top management, especially with Florentino Pérez.

That same work will be done with the feminine team. He will have to sit down with Toril periodically to reinforce the growth of the section. A clear example of the importance that Real Madrid is willing to give to a team that continues to grow both in terms of budget and results.

A return to Madrid was uncertain to Solari. Not because of a problem with the club—he is very appreciative of the chance he was given—but rather because he wanted to return in a position of authority. The board of directors made a commitment to this and assigned him a specific role within the hierarchical structure. The former player has placed a high value on the confidence displayed over the past few months. His last experience as a coach was in Mexico, at América. He accepted the position on December 29, 2020 and ended up being dismissed on March 2, 2022.
