Carlos Queiroz (June 2003-May 2004)

After the departure of Del Bosque, the Portuguese had already made a name in the sport as an assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United but failed in his transition to the position of head coach at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Jose Antonio Camacho (May 2004-September 2004)

The former coach returned to the Bernabeu after leaving Real Madrid. But this time it did not last long. A poor 3-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen led to his departure in September.

Mariano Garcia Remon (September 2004-December 2004)

Winner of six leagues with Real Madrid as a player, Garcia Remon was promoted as the coach, but his term only lasted a few months.

Vanderlei Luxemburgo (December 2004-December 2005)

The Brazilian’s term lasted at least one year and endured numerous changes at the beginning of the 2004-2005 season. He struggled to find a balance with the overloaded staff and was fired after a magnificent performance of his compatriot Ronaldinho against Barcelona at the Bernabeu.

Juan Ramon Lopez Caro (December 2005-June 2006)

He signed with Real Madrid in the 2001 and was promoted after the departure of Vanderlei Luxemburgo. His first game was a 1-2 away loss against Olympiacos.

Fabio Capello (July 2006 - June 2007)

Despite coming with the reputation of one of the best coaches in the world, he could not make it a solid game with the team and it cost him dearly. Capello completed 38 games with Real Madrid, winning 23 of them, drawing 7 and losing 8, which was, however, not enough to make him stay at the club.

Bernd Schuster (July 2007 - December 2008)

It was thought that the discipline of a German could make a difference. BUT Bernd Schuster was only in office for 519 days.

Juande Ramos (December 2008 - June 2009)

Juande Ramos actually did a great job, with 17 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses. However, it did not help. His departure was imminent.

Mauricio Pellegrini (June 2009-May 2010)

Manuel Pellegrini was chosen by Perez, which was accompanied by the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso. Despite the historical record of Coins in a season, Pellegrini left the club after a humiliating 4-0 defeat against Alcorcón in the Copa del Rey.

Ancelotti gave Real Madrid its most successful year with four trophies, including the long-awaited tenth Champions League title in 2014. In his last season, however, he failed to win any major title despite 22 consecutive victories before Christmas.

Rafael Benitez (June 2015-January 2016)

Benitez's reign lasted seven months and completed 25 games. A painful 0-4 defeat against Barcelona in November was the end of the story.
