Jose Maria Gutierrez has opened up about the struggles he faced as he took his first coaching steps at Real Madrid's academy.
The current Almeria coach, known as Guti, has claimed that Los Blancos never gave him the chance to be the head coach of any of the team's youth sides.
"I would have liked to start as a head coach and not an assistant," he said in an interview for Movistar+.
"But they said, 'That's Guti, right? Let's see what's going to happen. Let's see if he gets tired.'
"I felt that I was undergoing a test.
"It was like when I was nine years old at my team in Torrejon.
"It was a lengthy test, because I wasn't assistant only at the Alevin side.
"I was also assistant at the Infantil and the Cadete.
"Other former teammates of mine were former Real Madrid players, but they arrived and became head coaches from the start."

Not every football player can be a good coach though yes you dream of being a head coach but that don't mean you will be successful start small and work your way up and prove your worth as the coach who will be successful at real Madrid look at Zidane he was 1st a assistant coach today he prove his worth by winning everything
