Real Madrid's legendary former coach Leo Beenhakker has passed away at the age of 82, the Spanish club said Thursday.
The Dutch coach led the club between 1986 and 1989, and again in 1992. He won six trophies during his four seasons at Real Madrid, including three successive La Liga titles between 1987 and 1989.
"Real Madrid would like to express their condolences and affection to his family, clubs, and loved ones," the club said in a statement.
Beenhakker also managed several other clubs in Europe, including Ajax and Feyenoord in his home country, as well as the national teams of the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Poland.
