Real Madrid's current head coach Santiago Solari has represented Los Blancos during the Galacticos period, from 2000 till 2005 to be precise.

Interestingly enough, the Argentine moved to the Bernabéu from local rivals Atlético Madrid, for whom he played in the 1999/00 season.

Solari was initially appointed caretaker manager after the sacking of Julen Lopetegui in late October. Solari's 4-match winning streak and the fact that Spanish regulations don't allow any club to have an interim manager for over two weeks led Real Madrid to appoint him on a permanent basis.

Ever since then, Madrid seems to have regained their lost form, winning the FIFA Club World Cup after defeating Al Ain 4-1 in last night's encounter and moving up the LaLiga table from 9th to 4th in over a month.
