The hiring of Zinedine Ziidane as Real Madrid boss on Monday makes the French legend the 11th coach to serve under Florentino Perez during his two spells as club president between June 2000-February 2006 and from June 2009 until the present day.
The 68-year-old has sanctioned the spending of over a billion euros on transfer fees during that time for the return of just two league titles, two Champions League crowns and one Copa del Rey.
Vicente del Bosque (November 1999-June 2003)
Arguably Perez’s most famous and ludicrous decision was to let the now Spanish national team manager go just days after he had won a second league title in three seasons.
Del Bosque was also in charge for Madrid’s ninth Champions League victory in 2002.
Carlos Queiroz (June 2003-May 2004)
The Portuguese was already a well-known name due to his position as Sir Alex Ferguson’s assistant at Manchester United, but he failed to make a successful transition into the top job at the Bernabeu.
After a promising start, Madrid collapsed to finish just fourth in the league and were also surprisingly eliminated at the quarter-final stage of the Champions League by Monaco.
Jose Antonio Camacho (May 2004-September 2004)
