Santiago Solari Has The Opportunity To Handle The Armenian National Team

JAKARTA - Former Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari has the opportunity to handle the Armenian national team. Solari is currently out of work since ending his tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of last season.

The Argentine led Los Blancos' squad from October to March last season. He took over from Julen Lopetegui before being replaced by Zinedine Zidane earlier this season.

Solari has not been able to stop La Liga Madrid's poor performance since Lopetegui's hand. He was also responsible for Madrid's elimination from the Champions League and Copa del Rey.

Armenian media, ArmSport, as quoted by vbetnews.com, stated that Solari would replace Abraham Khashmanyan who would terminate his contract.

The technical director of the Armenian FA, Gines Melendez, is Spanish. This will increase their chances of landing at Solari.

Solari recently told Chiringuito, as quoted by Diario AS: "I'm not hurt by being sacked by the club (Real Madrid), it's always an honor to serve Madrid."

The former Los Blancos winger has previously said he wants to try his luck in the Premier League.

“I saw a lot of Premier League games. This is a 'top' league that is enjoying great moments in its history, "said Solari.

“There are many extraordinary players and some of the best coaches in the world there. Apart from many different nationalities and playing styles, don't forget that the finalists of last year's two European finals came from the Premier League, "concluded the man who has also played for Inter Milan.
