The Madrid "Real" team has been without a head coach for nine days - a little over a week ago the legendary Zinedine Zidane announced his resignation.
The media has been talking all week about candidates to replace him. For a long time Mauricio Pochettino was mentioned, but "Tottenham" did not even start talks with the UEFA Champions League winners.
There are still various rumors in the press - both Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri are linked with "Real". However, the most realistic candidacy among all remaining names is Guti - a legendary player of the club, working with the team's youth since 2013.
History shows that "Real" has never made a mistake in choosing a legendary player with little coaching experience for the coaching position:
Miguel Munoz - the most successful "Real" coach in the club's history. Taking over the team at the age of 37 in 1960, the Spaniard won 14 titles in 16 seasons - becoming Spanish champion nine times and winning the European Cup twice.
Zinedine Zidane - a club legend, who entered history as one of the most successful Champions League coaches of all time. The Frenchman, who also coached the reserve team, took over the main team in 2016 and in 2.5 years managed to achieve incredible things - winning the Champions League three times in a row and becoming Spanish champion once.
Success of Z. Zidane, like other former club legends who became coaches, greatly contributed to the ability to manage the team not only on the field, but also beyond its limits.
Luis Molowny - a player of the main "Real" team for 11 seasons, before becoming a coach of the reserve team, gained some experience with "Las Palmas", but was not invited to coach the team as a fantastic coach - he was chosen as an emergency replacement for Miguel Munoz.
He managed to become the coach of the "Real" team three times and win eight titles.
Vicente Del Bosque - the legendary coach of the Spanish national team spent 11 of his football career years playing for "Real" club. As the head coach, he also worked in the reserve team.
Like L. Molowny, V. De Bosque managed to coach the team three times during his career. He succeeded in winning the two most important trophies - the Champions League and the Spanish "La Liga" twice each.
