5 short stints of Real Madrid managers

#4 Alfredo Di Stefano

Di Stefano (l) and Sir Alex Ferguson (r)

Alfredo Di Stefano was and will always remain a historic figure at Real Madrid. As the club's now 7th all-time top scorer, he was an integral part of one of the most successful teams of all times.

He scored 106 league goals in 169 games for Real (then a club record, since surpassed by Raul and Cristiano Ronaldo). Di Stéfano's 49 goals in 58 matches was for decades the all time highest tally in European Cup history. It has since been surpassed by 6 Real Madrid players, most recently Raul in 2005, Cristiano in 2014, and Benzema in 2016.

He had two managerial stints at the club, and he was relatively successful in the first one. He failed quite miserably in his second stint which was 6 years after the end of his first one.

He failed to trouble FC Barcelona in LaLiga, and also failed to have continental success after crashing out in the European Cup. He was let go at the end of the 90-91 season. He was made the club's honorary President on 5th November 2000.

Stats: 19 games, 9 wins, 2 draws, and 8 defeats (November 1990 - March 1991).
