Season

During summer new President Ramon Mendoza appointed Luis Molowny as the club manager for the season after a failed bid on Athletic Bilbao coach Javier Clemente who clinched the league trophies in the 1982–83 and 1983–84 seasons and rejected the offer due to his contract expires in June 1986. Surprisingly, Clemente left the Lions midway through the 1985–86 season, after a run-in with star player Manuel Sarabia,^[1] but, by that time, club President Mendoza signed and agreement for the upcoming season with Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker. After six years without winning La Liga, Real Madrid Club de Fútbol finally won the title in the 1985–86 season. The team also triumphed in the UEFA Cup, making it a European Double. Following a change in the Chairman office (from Luis de Carlos to Ramón Mendoza), Real Madrid signed new top players (such as Hugo Sánchez,^[2] Rafael Gordillo and Antonio Maceda) under manager Luis Molowny, and produced an emphatic season. This was the club's 21st league title in history and its second consecutive UEFA Cup. Real Madrid defeated 1. FC Köln in the final to win the 1985–86 UEFA Cup.^[3] The club were eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Real Zaragoza in the semi-finals.^[4]
