Managerial career


Real Madrid

Del Bosque is presented in Real Madrid since 1964 and rose through the ranks at the club, but he only succeeded in Madrid during the first few months in 1994 after the sacking of Benito Floro and before the appointment of Jorge Valdano. He will return to manage Real for one game in 1996, when he was the team of young coaches, club president and board of directors has today sacked their manager, Arsenio Iglesias. But in 1999-1900, the club management decided to give her full time job after difficulties with their new foreign coach, John Toshack, to take over in November 1999.

In four seasons in charge, Del Bosque led the club through the most successful spell in modern history, having steered the club to two League Champions League titles in 2000 and 2002, two domestic league titles in 2001 and 2003, the Spanish Super Cup in 2001 , the European Super Cup in 2002, the Intercontinental Cup in 2002 and finishing in the top four of the Champions League every year he was responsible. Not because of the Madrid side in the 1950s and 1960s, which was Alfredo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas perform consistently successful club. Del Bosque is famous for his style of humility, patience and humility which saw him manage the club because of a policy during the period as club president Florentino Pérez, known as Los Galacticos, where the star of the world's best and most valuable has been signed for the club started with Luís Figo and including Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo. Del Bosque's management succeeded in uniting the various ego a lot of modern players in the star-studded team: at Real Del Bosque era managed to win 104 of 186 possible in his time as coach of Real Madrid


Although the success rate. many players - especially the so-called Galacticos - purchased without the input of Del Bosque amid allegations are made that the Real Madrid hierarchy (in particular Pérez and general manager Jorge Valdano) have more control over transfer policy, team selection and other aspects of the club minimalised Del Bosque has a degree of control during his time as manager.

Surprisingly, Real Madrid decided not to renew Del Bosque in 2003,  just a day after he won a club-29 League title and a week after the club signed David Beckham. Del Bosque was offered the post of technical director but declined, causing a lot of suggestions in the Spanish media that there are many political divisions in the club reportedly involving Del Bosque and several players, notably captain Fernando Hierro (who asked to leave the club in the summer of 2003), in one hand, while holding the ax Valdano and Pérez control in their words, "shake up the team," on the other side. Pérez said in an interview with BBC Sport: "Del Bosque showed signs of fatigue I want to be sincere about this - our belief that he is not the right coach for the future .."

It is a strange story from beginning to end - how human beings, timid with the mustache from Salamanca came to be in charge of the group's most expensive and talented players in the modern game, win the biggest trophy on offer and then got the boot in favor of a man not yet rated The name of the Real superstars, Del Bosque is very popular - .. partly because he preferred to let them get on with it cool as a cucumber cryogenically-frozen, he managed to avoid confrontation with its costs, although the ego stars in the squad, and never once gone quiet in front of the media. "
In addition, as evidence of the success that Del Bosque, Real Madrid have failed to reach the heights of life to their Galacticos tag name in recent years since the departure of Del Bosque, a tag that they managed to shine in charge of derivatives at the same time star quality players.
