David Bettoni

[3] Bettoni was invited at Real Madrid to work as a scout in 2013, identifying exciting young talents.

Prior to landing in Madrid he was in charge of the system for bringing young players through at Cannes.

[7] On 23 January 2021, Bettoni managed the team in a 4–1 away win against Alavés after head coach Zinedine Zidane tested positive for COVID-19.

However, some confusion concerning these events exists, as Bettoni had returned to the bench after the break and reportedly announced his resignation the next day.

They had slipped to last place following a 0–1 home loss to FC Winterthur, who thus overtook them, in Bettoni's second-to-last game on the sideline.
