What will the Real Madrid bench look like inside the next couple of months? Since there are only a few months left until the end of the current season, the future of Madrid's bench continues to be unknown.
Santiago Solari's future at Madrid is uncertain and many are saying that if the Argentine fails to secure silverware this season, he will be saying goodbye to the Bernebeu.
If this ends up being the case, there are plenty of ex-Madridistas who are ready to assume the managerial role on the bench, other Zidanes and Solaris.
Zizou was one of the first to come up with this school of thought. The Frenchman started off as an advisor to the chairman, soon becoming the first team trainer at Castilla and finally the first team coach, winning three successive titles, a mean feat for anyone.
Solari also journeyed from Castilla to Real Madrid to lead Los Blancos after the dismissal of Julen Lopetegui, who had arrived at Madrid in place of Zidane himself.
The legendary ex-captain Raul Gonzalez is the first on the list. The Real number seven is currently a coach for Cadete B and is a real fan favourite at Madrid, a living legend some have said.
Xabi Alonso is next in line, who manages youth first team, and along with Raul, has the pleasure of working under the president, Florentino Perez. Finally, we have Alvaro de Benito, singer in the band 'Pignoise', known for an occasional apperance or two. In the past he has managed the youth second team.
