Position Benitez several weeks hanging by a thread. Just two months ago it was expected that he would be released. At a similar meeting as Monday, but Perez gave the confidence to coach. This time the club from Santiago Bernabeu there was another board meeting to discuss the results achieved recently by Real. Verification achievements Benitez was negative and the Spaniard did not get another chance to improve results and team games.
– Rafa is a great professional and a wonderful person, but we had to make this difficult decision – briefly summed up Perez in his speech.
For her certainly the biggest influence had a very poor attitude led his team in meetings with the leaders of the Spanish league. Real lost 0: 4 Barcelona, 0: 1 against Villarreal, Atletico Madrid drew 1: 1, and last Sunday also shared the points with Valencia CF 2: 2. The royal after 18 rounds to 37 points. It is four less than the first in the table Atletico and two from Barcelona, which is supposed to play an outstanding game.
The team Benitez also made a huge blunder in the King’s Cup. Although the first away game 1/16 finals of Cadiz CF ended a victory of 3: 1, this match was verified on walkover for the hosts. The reason was the performance is not entitled to play Denis Czeryszewa. Benitez also accused of inability to dominate the locker room and very haggard style of play. When asked about his future after a meeting with Valencia, he said: – Speculation can not be avoided. I can only work on this, to band worked just as in the game. Well played, we put in a clash appropriate effort. Sorry, we could not win, but that’s football.
A similar view was Real’s sporting director Emilio Butragueño. Former player of the club has always stood up behind the Spanish coach. – The team left a good impression. Is Rafa will be fired? Remain calm – cut off the conversation. On Monday in the morning but he had his hands full. According to local journalists, Benitez’s agent was negotiating with the termination of the contract. The Spaniard knew how extreme is to work for the Santiago Bernabeu and entered into relevant clauses in the contract, to which the authorities have agreed to Real Madrid. If nothing has changed, then the club will have to pay compensation for the three-year contract, or around 12 million euros.
For a while Benitez will therefore watch Real from the stands or watching TV. He was succeeded by Zinedine Zidane, previously acting as reserves coach of the Kings. During Monday’s conference, journalists do not have the opportunity to ask questions. It will be an opportunity after Tuesday’s workout.
– This for me is an important day – it began during the presentation Zidane. – Torn me different emotions. I think there are even more than when I signed the contract as a player. From Tuesday everything will return to normal, although it will certainly be different. We have the best club in the world and the best fans. It is time that the team was again the best in the world. The next goal is to get us finished the season with a trophy. I will do everything to achieve that. The bottom line is that Tuesday I’ll be with the team and begin work to improve the quality of – summed up the 43-year-old coach. In the last ten years younger than him at the Bernabeu was not. However, in the twenty-first century is already 14 coach of the Kings.
The Frenchman even as a player at the Bernabeu was brought by current club president (in 2001). For several years exercise while at Real different functions. He was director of football, Ancelotti’s assistant and most recently coached the reserves. Perez sees him as someone on the model of Pep Guardiola at Barcelona, who reached with her a lot of success.
– Zizou is one of the greatest figures in the history of football. With him as assistant gained a tenth European Cup. Throughout his career he fought with major challenges and always approached them with commitment. The word “impossible” for him does not exist – said Perez.
Assistant Zidane is Santiago Solari, also a former Real Madrid player and coach one of the club’s youth team. Spanish journalists reported that the Frenchman also made the first phone call to a player who wants to bring. It’s Iker Casillas. Goalkeeper FC Porto was lightly sold by Real in the summer of 2015. However, it turned out that it was a joke.
