Pressure has mounted on Solari in recent weeks after Real fell to two El Clasico defeats in the space of a week before Los Blancos crashed out of the Champions League to Ajax six days ago. Sunday night's victory over Real Valladolid was not enough to save Solari's job, if the latest reports are to be believed, and if Zidane takes over on Tuesday, he will have a full four days to prepare the team for Saturday's home clash with Celta Vigo.
