Al-Ittihad’s Ambitions
Word is Al-Ittihad is trying to get Solari as their manager which shows they really want to make their team stronger. They think Solari would be perfect because he’s done good both as a player and as a manager. They’re trying to get him cause they want someone who knows what they’re doing to help the team play better.
Potential Implications for Real Madrid
If Solari leaves Real Madrid might have trouble keeping their youth development and transfer stuff going good. This change could mess with how they run things at the club. Also the Brazilian Football Confederation wants Carlo Ancelotti who’s managing Real Madrid right now which makes everything even more complicated. Everyone in football is watching to see what Real Madrid does about all these possible changes in who runs things.
