Solari has earned more time at Madrid after passing Celta test

The Argentine has Los Blancos back on track and has earned a chance as the club's full-time manager

Santiago Solari has undertaken a two-week long test and passed it with full marks. With Sunday’s thumping 4-2 victory over Celta Vigo, Real Madrid’s interim coach maintained his 100 per cent record, steering the Spanish giants to sixth in La Liga.

The Argentine has accomplished four victories from four games across all competitions, 15 goals scored, three clean sheets.The numbers are inarguable, especially when compared to five defeats from seven games that Julen Lopetegui managed before he was sacked at the end of October.
