Solari's dismissal ends his reign just shy of five months, with Real Madrid seemingly in complete turmoil having already dismissed former Spain boss Julen Lopetegui earlier this season.
He won 22 out of his 32 games in charge, but has crucially lost eight times - enduring fractious relationships with star players Isco, Marcelo and Gareth Bale along the way. His inability to strengthen Real's defensive resolve has also been of particular concern, with his side being cut open at the back all too easily in recent weeks.
But with the club 12 points behind rivals Barcelona in the La Liga title race, as well as being out of the Champions League and Copa del Rey, a season without success has prompted Perez to approach Zidane, whom he has always maintained a positive relationship with, once more in an attempt to reverse the club's ailing fortunes.
