After the Christmas holidays in England, the chief strategist of "Real" Rafael Benitez returned to Madrid and received a not very warm welcome from the "kingly club" fans. The Spanish media reports that the 55-year-old strategist was invited to leave the coaching position at the airport and hand it over to the legendary French footballer Zinedine Zidane.
R.Benitez, who enjoys silence, has been dealing with the shouts of contempt and calls to resign from the fans of "Real" for some time now.
Having vacationed in Liverpool with his family and only returned to the Spanish capital yesterday, the coach was warmly greeted by journalists and photographers at the airport. Unfortunately for R.Benitez, they were not the only ones there. "Real" fans who stood behind the media workers began shouting Z.Zidane's name at the top of their lungs.
Although the "royal club" welcomed the Christmas holidays by beating the "Rayo Vallecano" team with a score of 10 goals, the anger of the fans did not subside. The Spanish press reported that the team's supporters are preparing to light another torch for R.Benitez during Wednesday's match against the "Real Sociedad" footballers.
After the first 16 rounds of the "La Liga," Madrid's "Real" is in third place, trailing behind the "Atletico" and "Barcelona" teams by 2 points. However, the Catalans have played one less game because on December 20th they were busy with the "River Plate" club in the FIFA Club World Cup final.
