"Marca", the Spanish newspaper, announces that the patience cup of the leaders of Madrid's "Real" team will soon be overflowing - after the weekend defeat against "Villarreal", the concern of the head coach Rafa Benitez is even greater. Adding to the constant rumors, it is said that the strategist has no authority in the team, and the worry of the "royal" club's management does not seem unexpected. According to "Marca" sources, if Benitez is dismissed, the legendary footballer Zinedine Zidane, currently coaching the reserves, will take his place. However, the Frenchman himself has previously said that he does not yet feel ready to take on the role of head coach of "Real". On the other hand, if the situation within the team does not improve, the step of the "royal" club's management to replace Benitez with Zidane may be unavoidable. The capital team in the Spanish championship lags behind the leaders "Barcelona" and "Atletico" by just five points and is currently in first place in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. However, the current coach's reputation is certainly not helped by the expulsion of a disqualified player from the King's Cup tournament.
