Solari Hints On Managerial Return

Solari Hints On Managerial Return

Former Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari has given a clue on his return to the dugout after being away from football for more than four months.

Solari was promoted from the youth ranks of Real to replace Julen Lopetegui as an interim coach, but was also sacked by the club in last year March after the side enjoyed mixed results.

The 42-year-old Argentine tactician, who was replaced by Zinedine Zidane has since been without a club as he expects to return to managerial post sooner than later.

"I would like to coach in Europe, in a serious project in one of the big leagues," he told BBC Sport.

"I saw the Premier League last year and how it grew so much. It was a fantastic campaign for the English teams. There are so many different cultures as well - you have Spanish coaches, German coaches, English coaches, coaches from all over the world who have made it grow.

"The type of football I like is when the team is the protagonist, offensive football, high tempo and aggressive but in order to achieve that you have to defend high, have fast transitions, and of course talent is a big part of that.

"The statistics in the Premier League are amazing and confirm things are changing. Fifteen years ago there were just three games where one team averaged 70 per cent of possession.

"Three years ago that went up to 30 games. Two years ago it was 60 games and last year there were 67 games in which one team had 70 per cent of possession."
