Rafa Benitez is on the brink of sack at Real Madrid?
Rafa Benitez is on the brink of losing his Real Madrid’s job, with Florentino Perez is considering to bring Jose Mourinho, according to Spanish Football expert Guillem Balague.
Despite of Real Madrid’s 10-2 victory over the Rayo Vallecano in their last fixture, Rafa Benitez is in the danger of losing his job after losing the dressing room. As per the Spanish Media, players has informed Forentino Perez that they can’t work things out with the former Liverpool boss, and Real Madrid chief has made his mind to sack Benitez, with Jose Mourinho and Zidane could take the charge of the club.

In his column, Guillem Balague reflect upon the current situation of Rafa Benitez, and suggested Forentino Perez has put Rafa Benitez in the position where he cannot survive and revealed he is in contact with Jose Mourinho since his sacking from Chelsea.
“It’s been an interesting week in Spain where Real Madrid are concerned.
Florentino Perez had been saying – privately and publicly – that Rafa Benitez was the solution, not the problem. But even after the Rayo victory, the president of Real Madrid changed his tune. Publicly, he has stopped talking and privately, he has taken action.

He has contacted Jose Mourinho’s representative, Jorge Mendes.
He has taken a poll of his season ticket holders as to whom they think should be the one to replace Rafa.
He has weakened the position of Rafa so much that, for many, he’s a dead man walking.
Perez has concluded that even though he would like Jose Mourinho to come at some point, the former Chelsea boss has still got too many enemies in the squad. He has, however, found out that the squad would back Zinedine Zidane as a manager, were he to get rid of Rafa.
Zidane is now the favourite.
All that happened while Rafa was on holiday, which, in my eyes, is a little bit ugly.
It’s quite clear that behind the scenes there has been a lot of movement over the last few days and that leaves Rafa Benitez exposed.
Benitez, who knows that four of the next six games are at home and victories could change matters, will be in charge for the game against Sociedad but nobody can tell what’s going to happen next.
I can tell you that, at the moment, Mourinho won’t be in charge at the Bernabeu, though Perez – as I’ve mentioned – would certainly like him to return at some point.
That’s where we are – with a weak Rafa Benitez and Zidane looking like the favourite to replace him.
It’s a huge task for Rafa now if he wants to survive.
The line coming from the club is that he has to improve results, relationships with the players… everything, really. Every result counts – but also every performance.”
