Yep, couldn't agree more; ****ed himself over twice in 5 months. Still, RM are the biggest losers, had to pay Spain a fortune in compo & then sack him 4 months later (with huge compo)........ lovely
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague on BBC Radio 5 live
"Antonio Conte is asking for so much. He is asking for two and a half years, asking to be a manager, asking for more money than Real Madrid are willing to pay. They are surprised this has not gone smoother. On Sunday, they were very optimistic Conte would replace Lopetegui.
"Florentino Perez always asks the leaders of the dressing room about managerial decisions. When he got rid of Rafael Benitez, he asked Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos. He has asked Sergio Ramos this time and he doesn't like the idea of Conte.
"Fans will be underwhelmed for sure. Solari hasn't impressed in the league, but what the fans don't realise is every year he has been given a bunch of kids in the third tier, which is all about adults and being strong mentally and physically - and his players have not been.
"But about 12 players from his team in the past two seasons now play in the first or second divisions. That means he is a good coach.
"There is a lot of hope for him, but everyone feels it is a little bit too early - even the board."
