After a day following the dismissal of Brazilian Vanderlei Luxemburgo as head coach of the Madrid team, it became clear that the sports director Arigo Sacchi, an Italian, will also leave the club at the end of the year. It is officially announced that he is stepping down due to personal reasons.
It is reported that A. Sacchi informed President Florentino Perez about his desire to leave two weeks before the "Real" match against "Barcelona", which took place on November 19. According to the club's statement, "family circumstances" convinced him to make this decision.
It is rumored in the press that former "Milan" and Italian national team strategist A. Sacchi, who joined "Real" last year on December 21 and took up the position of director, could not withstand the pressure at the world's most famous club and recently his health deteriorated. The 59-year-old Italian left the position of head coach at "Parma" club in similar circumstances in the past.
So far, it is unclear who will take on the role of finding a replacement for the "Real" strategist for a longer period, as these were the duties of the technical director - it was A. Sacchi who played the biggest role in inviting Vanderlei Luxemburgo to coach the team, who was left unemployed this weekend despite statements denying such a possibility made two weeks ago.
