Since 2009, Real Madrid have changed a total of 9 managers, so how are these managers doing?
In this video, let's take stock of Galaxy II and the achievements of previous head coaches! Click to see the video
1. Pellegrini
On June 1, 2009, Pellegrini took office as the first head coach of Battleship Galaxy II. He only managed Real Madrid for one season, was suppressed by Dream Barça in the league, was eliminated early in the Champions League 16, missed out on the Copa del Rey, and all four were empty in one season, which was a shame for the star-studded Real Madrid, and on May 26, 2010, Pellegrini was sacked.
2. Mourinho
After a mediocre Pellegrini experience, the Galaxy battleship began "madman time", and in 2010, Mourinho became the team's head coach. After Mourinho became the head coach, he adopted a defensive counterattack tactic, with Cristiano Ronaldo as the endpoint, and defeated the invincible Barca in the Copa del Rey and the league to win the title. It's just that in the Champions League, I was very unlucky, and I stopped in the last 4 of the Champions League for three consecutive years and missed the final! In 2013, Mourinho was dismissed because of a conflict with the player. In three seasons with Real Madrid, he won one La Liga title, one Copa del Rey and one Spanish Super Cup.
3. Ancelotti
In June 2013, Carlo Ancelotti succeeded Jose Mourinho as Real Madrid manager for the first time. In his first season, Carlo Ancelotti led Real Madrid to four titles, including the coveted Champions League title, and in 2015, Real Madrid were constantly plagued by injuries, the third line collapsed, the Copa del Rey was eliminated by Atletico, the league defeat to Barcelona, the Champions League semi-final defeat to Juve, and Ancelotti was sacked at the end of the season. Only two seasons in charge of Real Madrid!
4. Benitez
In the summer of 2015, Benitez succeeded Carlo Ancelotti at the Bernabeu and signed a three-year contract with Real Madrid. Just half a season later, in the early hours of 5 January 2016, Real Madrid president Florentino announced Benitez out of class at the Bernabeu Stadium after concluding his board of directors. In 25 games in all competitions in charge of Real Madrid, Benitez has achieved 17 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats, a win rate of only 68%, a very poor record and a lot of contradictions with players, arguably he is the worst manager of Galaxy Battleship II.
5. Zidane
After Benitez, Zidane, who is in charge of Real Madrid's B team, took over as the manager of the Galaxy Battleship, and during his tenure, Real Madrid won three consecutive Champions League titles, won one La Liga title, two UEFA Super Cups, two Club World Cups, and other honors. On May 31, 2018, due to dissatisfaction with the Real Madrid leadership, Zidane announced his resignation as the head coach of Real Madrid, and in three seasons in charge of Real Madrid, he won the Champions League three times, and the results were so good that Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and other famous managers were envious!
6. Lopetegui
In June 2018, Julen Lopetegui became Real Madrid's manager. However, in the first official match, Julen Lopetegui led the team to lose the European Super Cup. Real Madrid, with just six wins, two draws and six defeats in his 14 official matches, finished ninth in the La Liga table, were thrown off by Barcelona by seven points and sacked after just three months in charge.
7. Solari
In October 2018, Solari succeeded Julen Lopetegui as Real Madrid manager, and in early March 2019, he suffered three key defeats in just six days, losing the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, and trailing Barca by 12 points in the league. The third line routed in a week, and Solari was gone. Real Madrid have managed a total of 14 games, winning 6, a win rate of just 43%.
8. Zidane
After Solari left class, the club welcomed back the crown of meritorious manager Zidane, who brought Real Madrid on track to regain the La Liga title in the 2019-2020 season, and Zidane resigned again in the 2020-21 season, when Real Madrid suffered frequent injuries and failed to win any titles. During his tenure, Zidane led the team to only one La Liga title and one Spanish Super Cup. The other coaches fired Florentino, Zidane fired him twice.
9. Ancelotti
After Zidane left class, Carlo Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid to become the team's manager for the second time. He won the Champions League double in his first season and has been in charge for almost two seasons, winning one Champions League, one La Liga, one Club World Cup, one Spanish Super Cup and one UEFA Super Cup. This season, Real Madrid has been suppressed by Barca, and if the Champions League cannot be defended, Carlo Ancelotti cannot avoid another class!
