Zidane set to be announced as the new Real Madrid coach Real Madrid According to Spanish TV programme Jugones

Real Madrid are set to announce the appointment of Zinedine Zidane on Monday afternoon.

The club has decided to part ways with current coach Santiago Solari after a meeting between the Real Madrid board of directors.

Zidane has always been the preferred choice for president Florentino Perez, as MARCA revealed last week.

After elimination from the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, as well as slipping too far behind in LaLiga Santander, Solari's time at the club is up and Spanish TV programme Jugones claims that Zidane will be named the new coach of Los Blancos at 6.00pm CET on Monday.

The Frenchman quit Real Madrid just nine months ago after winning three consecutive Champions League titles.
