Real Madrid president Florentino Perez concedes three coaching changes during the past season "hasn't worked".

Before his return, Zinedine Zidane left last summer and Perez explained how this occurred.

"He came to my office and told me," the president said on El Transistor on Onda Cero. "When Zidane decided, there was no turning him around.

"Then the next day we decided to communicate it.

"At that time there weren't many coaches available.

"All those at clubs had contracts for some time.

"With [Julen] Lopetegui we wanted him to come after the World Cup.

"He wanted to announce it before the World Cup and we spoke with Luis Rubiales and he told us that we were getting a great coach, but then something happened in the afternoon and it all changed and they sacked him.

"Then we didn't speak with the federation more because he was sacked and we didn't have to pay a clause because he had been sacked."

Loptegui didn't last long at Real Madrid either and Perez was asked if he'd reconsider sacking the Basque now, with the president also confirming that Jose Angel Sanchez was the one to communicate the decision.

"I don't know," was his response.

"We didn't fix anything with the coaching changes."

Santiago Solari was the next one to come in, but once the season was virtually over they decided to bring back Zidane.

"We were aware that the season was over for us and decided to prepare for the next season over the final 11 matches," he said of the decision to let go of Solari.

"Zidane then had desire to return.

"He started trying different players with a certain calmness."
