Real Madrid are set to appoint Victor Fernandez as part of a major shake-up of the club’s youth development setup and as “back-up” in case new manager Rafael Benitez is not up to scratch.
As noted by Tomas Roncero of AS, the 54-year-old is poised to sign a three-year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu, where he will be tasked with adding some structure at Valdebebas. Roncero claims in the piece that the academy is currently "suffering from organisational chaos."
He outlined in the piece what is likely to be expected of Fernandez, who is branded as "one of the most experienced Spanish coaches":
The club’s plan is for the Zaragoza-born 54-year-old to take full control at the club’s training base and bring a uniform structure to all of Madrid’s youth teams, ensuring they follow the same methods of conduct and performance throughout.
