7 reasons why Solari should be named the permanent manager of Real Madrid

#4 He has shown a distinct faith in young players

Young players are thriving at Real Madrid under Solari

The core of Real Madrid’s squad has been together for the best part of the last six seasons, partaking in all of the club’s victories and triumphs in that time. They have won numerous titles together, including four Champions League titles, three FIFA Club World Cups, Three UEFA Super Cups and one La Liga title, and with most of them entering into the latter stages of their careers, the law of diminishing returns might have begun to take a toll on them.

Players like Marcelo, Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric and Benzema are all on the wrong side of thirty, and would need to gradually be replaced by younger players who would mark the future of Real Madrid, and unlike Julen Lopetegui who didn’t trust the youngsters at Real Madrid, such as when he fielded Lucas Vasquez at right-back when Carvajal was injured, rather than play the more natural Odriozolla, Santi Solari does not have to have such restrictions.

Under him, players such as Odriozolla, Reguilon and the highly rated Vinicius Jr have featured significantly.

No player or team no matter how good can last at the top forever, as age must begin to take a toll, and on the evidence we’ve seen so far, Solari is willing to give the future a chance by staking on the youngsters of today.
