[edit] Career
Solari played for Newell's Old Boys, local amateur Renato Cesarini and attended Richard Stockton College[1] playing one season before moving to Buenos Aires' CA River Plate in 1996. After 3 seasons with River Plate he transferred to Spanish Atlético Madrid and, upon the club's relegation in 2000, Solari moved across the city to Real Madrid.
Although he struggled with form in the his first season with his club, he established himself in the 2001-02 season, playing an important role in Real's successful UEFA Champions League campaign. Yet he was relegated to primarily playing a substitute's role in 2002-03; he nevertheless helped Real win yet another Spanish League title. Even though he recovered his starting position with the club in the following season, Real's season was disappointing as they stumbled to a fourth place finish in Spain, and failed to win any domestic or international title.
After the 2004-05 season, Inter Milan signed Solari for free on a 3-year contract, and he helped them win the 2006 Coppa Italia and three Serie A in a row. Solari's contract with Internazionale expired on June 30, 2008, leaving him as a free agent; he later agreed a one-year contract with Argentine club San Lorenzo de Almagro. On July 15, 2009, Solari moved to Atlante on a free transfer after being released by San Lorenzo. On August 30, 2010, he signed with Uruguayan club Peñarol a one-year contract as a free agent.
[edit] Family
Solari comes from a sporting family, his cousin Fernando Redondo played for Real Madrid, his uncle Jorge Solari played in the 1966 FIFA World Cup and was the coach of CD Tenerife and his brother Esteban Solari currently plays for APOEL in Cyprus 1st Division.
