Madrid, Mar 11 (Xinhua/UNI) Real Madrid on Monday confirmed Zinedine Zidane as their third first team coach of the season, just over nine months after he resigned from the club saying it "needed a change."
The Frenchman has signed a contract until the end of June 2022 to replace Santiago Solari, who has paid for a run of results which saw the team knocked out of the Champions League, Copa del Rey and fall to 12 points behind FC Barcelona in the Liga Santander.
Zidane's first game back in charge will be at home to struggling Celta Vigo next Saturday, while Real Madrid confirm that Solari has been offered the chance to remain at a different role in the club.
