Trainer and functionary career

real Madrid

After his active career, del Bosque worked as a youth coordinator at Real Madrid. Several times he was an interim solution for the coaching post, such as in 1994 or 1999. But when the stop-gap led Real to the eighth title in the Champions League or in the national championship cup in 2000 , he received a multi-year contract from Florentino Pérez , the then president Coach of the professional team. At the same time, a clause in his contract said that if he was unsuccessful he could return directly to the youth sector and get his old post back. In the 2000/01 season del Bosque was able to win the championship with Real Madrid. Due to his calm and balanced manner, he managed to lead a team that was equipped with stars (e.g. Luís Figo , Zinédine Zidane , Ronaldo , Roberto Carlos , Raúl ) without any conflicts or quarrels.

In the 2001/02 season , the always calm and humble coach won the Champions League again with Real Madrid. When his contract was not renewed by the club's leadership at the end of the 2002/03 season , he had led the Madrilenians to two Spanish championships and two Champions League triumphs in just over three years. His successors could not build on these successes; the continuity on the bench was lost.
