Real Madrid Names Brazilian As New Coach! Friday, December 31, 2004; Wanderley Luxemburgo of Brazil was hired as coach of Real Madrid yesterday, the third coach the soccer team has had this year. "It is a very great personal satisfaction to coach the world's best team," Luxemburgo said at a news conference. It has been far from the world's best team this year. Real Madrid is languishing in fifth place in the Spanish league despite a lineup that boasts players such as Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham and it struggled to qualify for the second round of the European Champions League. Luxemburgo replaces Mariano Garcia Remon, who had taken over from Jose Antonio Camacho just three weeks into the season. Garcia Remon will remain with the team in a management position. |
