Real Madrid Sacks Coach Rafael Benitez, Names Zidane As Replacement

Real Madrid have sacked their coach, Rafael Benitez and named Zinedane Zidane as his replacement.

The 32-time Spanish champions fell four points behind Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga after a 2-2 draw against Valencia on Sunday and Benitez was dismissed following a board meeting held on Monday afternoon.

Club legend Zidane, who currently manages Madrid’s ‘B’ team, has long been linked with the top job and will now take charge.

Benitez had struggled to win over supporters after replacing Carlo Ancelotti in the summer and Madrid could fall five points behind Barcelona if the defending champions win their game in hand.
