Rafa Benitez is facing the sack just seven months after taking over at Real Madrid.
Directors of the Spanish club have been consulting throughout Monday after Madrid failed to beat Valencia on Sunday evening.
Club
president Florentino Perez has called a board meeting for Monday
afternoon which will be followed by a press conference at 4.30pm.
The
expectation is that Benitez will be dismissed with Zinedine Zidane
stepping up from the B-team to take control of first team affairs until
the end of the season.
Perez
remains a huge fan of Jose Mourinho and the former Chelsea manager
remains an option but the president is understood to prefer Zidane
taking over with immediate effect.
Mourinho would remain an option for the Spanish giants at the end of the season if the Zidane experiment fails.
Benitez
has been unable to win any of Madrid’s big away games so far this
season with Villarreal, Sevilla and Barcelona all beating them and
Atletico Madrid, Valencia and PSG all taking a point
