Who is Real Madrid caretaker manager Santiago Solari?

Temporary coach of Real Madrid CF, Argentinian Santiago Solari

REAL Madrid have appointed Santiago Solari as their caretaker manager following the sacking of Julen Lopetegui, but who is the new Blancos interim head coach?

Lopetegui was relieved of his duties on Monday, the day after suffering a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Barcelona at the Nou Camp which capped off a run of five consecutive league games without a win.
Former Argentina international Solari has been promoted to take charge on a temporary basis, for now, and will take to the dugout for Real’s Copa del Rey clash with Melilla on Wednesday night.
CAREER IN FOOTBALL
Born on October 7, 1976 in Rosario, Argentina, Solari predominantly played as a left midfielder and broke into the professional game at River Plate, before joining the European football elite with a move to Atletico Madrid in January 1999.
However, when the Colchoneros slipped to relegation the following season, he joined city rivals Real Madrid and became a regular starter under coach Vicente Del Bosque.
There he enjoyed the best years of his career as he helped the team secure a ninth Champions League trophy in 2002 with a 2-1 win over German side Bayer Leverkusen.
After over 130 appearances with Real, Solari was signed by Inter Milan, where he won three consecutive Serie A titles. However, he did not feature as much as he would have liked, and he returned to his native South America to spend the final years of his playing career which ended in 2011.
He took a two-year break before starting his managerial stint with a job with the Real Madrid U19 team. He was then promoted to manage the U21 Castilla side ahead of the 2016/17 season, competing in Segunda Division B - the third tier of Spanish football.

The Portland Trail Blazers faced the Houston Rockets tonight without the services of center Jusuf Nurkic, recovering from an ankle injury. For three quarters, it didn’t look like they’d miss him. Damian Lillard hit threes like they were layups. Portland’s patchwork lineup hustled to fast break points and forced turnovers. If they couldn’t out-muscle or out-talent the Rockets, they’d simply outscore them. But even in the midst of amazing runs, the Blazers had no answer for James Harden and Chris Paul. When the game hung in the balance in the fourth quarter, the Rockets trailing by 14, those two superstars keyed a 40-19 period to put their team in the lead. As Houston bore down, Portland’s 60% shooting from the field slipped towards 50%...brilliant on any other night against any other team, but not enough to preserve the victory. Despite dead-eye marksmanship and a spirit effort, the Blazers watched the Rockets exit with a 124-117 win, completing a humbling 0-4 home stand an
