» Real Madrids Manager, Rafael Benítez, Has Been Sacked!! «

Rafael Benitez has been sacked as manager of Real
Madrid.
The former Liverpool and Chelsea boss has endured a
tough season at the Bernabeu since taking over in June,
and while he only finds his side four points off Atletico at
the top of La Liga he has had fallouts with key players and
been criticised for a defensive style of football.
Benitez was also denied the chance for another piece of
silverware, the Copa del Rey, after an administrative gaffe
saw them expelled for fielding an ineligible player against
Cadiz.
The last straw: Valencia 2-2 Real Madrid
It leaves the Champions League as their most likely
chance of glory this season, but club president Florentino
Perez has opted for a change ahead of their round-of-16
tie with Roma next month.
An announcement is expected later on today.
Zinedine Zidane - the coach of Real Madrid's second team,
Castilla - is expected to take over.
The Frenchman is understood to privately prefer a summer
change and the chance to undertake an entire pre-season
but won't turn down the chance to manage the ten-time
European champions if, as expected, Perez offers him the
job.
