Real confirmed the move at a news conference on Thursday, which followed a board meeting.

Luxemburgo, 52, quit as boss of Brazilian champions Santos to become Real's third coach this season.

Jose Antonio Camacho was in charge at the start of the season, but left three weeks in amid reports he found the team's superstars too hard to handle.

Remon, who will remain with the club but in a reduced capacity, succeeded Jose Antonio Camacho as coach but, like his predecessor, struggled to motivate Madrid's star players. Siunce Remon took over, but the Spanish giants have continued to struggle in La Liga and are in fifth place, 13 points adrift of leaders Barcelona.

Real also struggled to qualify for the second round of the Champions League.

Luxemburgo, who coached the Brazil national team between 1998 and 2000, led them to success at the 1999 Copa America.

He led Santos to the recently-completed Brazilian championship.
