Ex-Madrid coach Solari unveiled as new America boss

Ex-Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari will return to the bench at Club America, the Mexican giants confirmed on Tuesday.

America had been without a coach since prior to Christmas, when they released Miguel Herrera following the club's exit from the CONCACAF Champions League at the hands of Los Angeles FC.

And they have now turned to Solari, who spent more than a decade at the Bernabeu as a player and coaching at both youth and senior level before finally cutting ties with the Merengue in March 2019.
