Real Madrid striker Borja Mayoral is confident new coach Santiago Solari will be a success.

Now on-loan with Levante, Mayoral played for Solari with Castilla.

"He's really close to the players; very similar to (Zinedine) Zidane. He's very good at managing the squad, which is something Madrid always demand. I'm happy for him and pleased the club has put its faith in him," said the striker.

"Yeah, I remember. He said it after a Youth League game. The fact that the current Real Madrid coach said that about me makes me feel proud and gives me confidence."
