Julen Lopetegui was given his marching orders on Monday after a disastrous tenure in the hot seat
Real have lost five of their last seven games and are ninth in La Liga. But the final straw for Real bigwigs appears to have been El Clasico this weekend
Los Blancos were battered 5-1 by arch-rivals Barcelona which has prompted Florentino Perez to take action
Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo reckon Perez has a plan though. It's suggested Solari - who is currently in charge of Real's B team - could be given four games to impress
Real face Melilla in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday and then Real Valladolid in La Liga on Saturday
They then lock horns with Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League. It's suggested Solari's last chance could be against Celta Vigo on November 11
Madrid had reportedly lined up Antonio Conte as a potential replacement for Lopetegui
However, it now appears Real have cooled their interest in the former Chelsea chief
Conte won the Premier League during his first season in the Premier League. But after an impressive debut campaign, the Italian struggled to galvanise his troops
Having axed Lopetegui a Real statement confirmed Solari will be in the dugout against Melilla
A club statement read: "The Board of Directors of Real Madrid CF, meeting today October 29, 2018, has agreed to terminate the contract that linked coach Julen Lopetegui with the club
"This decision, adopted from the highest level of responsibility, aims to change the dynamics of the first team, when all the objectives of this season are still achievable
"The Board of Directors understands that there is a great disproportion between the quality of the staff of Real Madrid, which has eight players nominated for the next Golden Ball, something unprecedented in the history of the club, and the results obtained to date
"The club thanks Julen Lopetegui and all his technical team for their effort and work and wishes them the best in their professional career
"He will be provisionally replaced by Santiago Solari, who will lead the first team starting tomorrow, Tuesday
